Cornwell driver killed

[Shoreline_]

Not sure if anyone heard about it. I guess a 46 year old driver was struck and killed by a 27 year old. It doesn't say why the 27 year old was fleeing the scene.

Maybe 50 years in prison would teach him to be a bit more respectful.......

At this point, that's doubtful. He's not even being held in jail, despite being charged with reckless homicide.

How many lives now ruined because of this *******?
This happened in a Chicago suburb, in Cook County. Too bad this punk isn't chilling in Cook County jail. He'd be "popular".

Something similar happened just outside of the town I live in. A drunk 17 year old hit and killed a jogger and left the scene. We're waiting to see the charges and results.

Oh man. We have an apprentice here that used to be a mechanic/helper. He has a ton of Cornwell stuff and I’m wondering if that was his Cornwell driver. That is horrible news.

The incident was mentioned in a different thread. Maybe the recent “Done with tool trucks” thread

Or maybe just execute him.

What a sad story. I read this and I think about how the son must feel. De-escalation training is so useful in keeping these things from winding up killing people.

We have had 3 similar here in the last few weeks. The Washington Post had an article about it today.

I think @zkdiesel might've known this guy.

Wow this is terrible.

I hope the son doesn’t feel guilty. I can’t even imagine.

Condolences to the family of the deceased.

What an absolute horrible crime. My thoughts and prayers go out to this man's family, especially his son. I know bad stuff happens all the time, but I guess, and this may sound stupid, crazy, or even wrong, but the man being a tool dealer hits a little harder. I guess I feel as though he is a brother/fellow one of us guys.
I used to live in a suburb very close to this. I have a lot more I would like to say, however for fear of getting my pp slapped again, I will leave it as it is.........
