A man was hit by a semi tractor-trailer while changing his battery on the side of the road. Ronald Stewart, Lanesville, had parked his green Chrysler Caravan directly in front of a Hyundai Sonata in the emergency lane of Interstate 64, near the Georgetown exit. A Mack truck heading westbound crossed into the emergency lane striking the Hyundai Sonata. The Sonata was pushed into the Caravan, dragging Stewart almost 200 feet. The truck was driven by Garland S. Cope, Scottsburg. While Cope and a passenger in the Sonata refused medical treatment, Stewart was rushed by Yellow Ambulance to University Hospital in Louisville with life-threatening injuries.
Anyone of us could find ourselves stranded on a highway with a flat tire, overheated engine, or a dead battery. In this circumstance, certainly you should pull off the road as much as possible and turn on your vehicle's emergency blinkers. Another vehicle with activated blinkers should also be positioned behind the disabled vehicle if at all possible. Despite these precautions, roadside repairs are still a risky business, especially if drivers fail to slow and use caution in passing the disabled vehicle.
