OT- Jim Boeheim Hits And Kills Man

I was driving home in a blizzard a couple weeks ago at around midnight, could barely see past my front bumper, almost hit some idiot walking down the middle of the road, he had ditched his car. Scared the shart out of me.
 
Some guy wearing all black was riding his bike on the shoulder over a bridge last night, no lights on the bridge. Looked back and saw the car behind me swerve to avoid him. It was tight. People do crazy things.

I say this as I attended the funeral of my friend's Dad in Virginia 3 weeks ago, hit and run during the daytime. Someone tried to pass a car that slowed down as the Dad walked across the road in the crosswalk. The pickup didn't see him crossing, it went around the slowing vehicle, plowed into him, stopped, and then sped away. He died minutes later. The police never found him despite eyewitness descriptions.
 
Sounds like the car was in the middle of the road after an accident. Guy who got out was probably distracted and not thinking about other cars.

I see people standing in harm’s way all the time on my commute, especially these times when potholes are blowing tires out left and right - their first instinct is to check the damage. They don’t think about how fast cars close on them at 70 mph.

Wow. I was visiting my son and family near Cuse from the weekend through yesterday, was on that same highway the day before. My grandson was excited that the Orange beat LVille last night. Boeheim probably on the way home from the Dome. And just about everyone in the area is a Cuse fan, so it would be unusal if the victim wasn't. Terrible.
 
Things you don’t want to read in the headlines on social media. “(Your team’s coach) is now cooperating with police”.
 
Very sad indeed. My thoughts are with the victim's family. Terrible news
 
Sounds like a really unfortunate accident that could happen to anyone driving late at night. Terrible.

To put it in another perspective, to convert MPH to Ft/sec, multiply MPH X 1.5. Not exact conversion, but close enough.

e.g. 60 MPH = 90 ft/sec.

Imagine running from home plate to 1st base in one second!
 
I'm just a poor boy, Bernie Fine touched me....
HE'S JUST A POOR BOY, BERNIE FINE TOUCHED HIM!
 
Based on that picture and all accounts, it appears this was a very, very tragic accident where no one was at fault.

690 is one of those very old poorly designed highways that is a nightmare for the unfamiliar.

I wonder what it would feel like to be from, say, Oak Ridge Tennessee, and find yourself driving on the BQE one day. I bet they'd choose to rather drive on an unpaved mountain pass without a guardrail, the road wide enough for 1 1/2 cars.

The merges in some of the intersections of 690, 81 and 481 I’m still getting used to despite many trips to the area.

Thought about the song as well but decided not to run with it.

He went out to dinner with family and friends, it was around 11:30. The victim was a passenger of the car involved in a previous accident due to road conditions. The car ended up in the middle of the highway. The other people had already exited and were on the side of the road, Mr. Jiminez was exiting to join them and Boeheim hit him when he was in the middle of the road. Just a horrible chain of events.
 
man this is really so awful for everyone involved. the victim, their family, and JB and his family as well.

guy is 74, probably ain't enough time left to get past something like this. it'll haunt him for the rest of his days
 
Many people are saying that there’s a nose picking joke out there to be made. I’m not saying that, but many people are.

I'm sympathetic..... how many times have you driven past someone on the road at night and not seen them until the last second? Blows my mind how nonchalant people are walking around on roads at night.

Last night. Dumb ass dressed in all black ran across the street right in front of me and we missed him by about 10 feet. It was a pretty dark street in Reno and we didn't see him until it was almost too late.
 
Whatever joke you are thinking of is probably not as funny as you think it is.

I will take Boeheim's side on this until I hear something that definitively proves his guilt. Pedestrians are idiots. It is lucky that this guy walking around the middle of the highway only killed himself and no one else.
 
Awful turn of events, can't say I'm surprised at all seeing how people non chalantly cross the road, be non chalant on the sidewalk not in the middle of the road ever especially at night.
 
We all hate Cuse but lets not make jokes ab this. Imagine if that happened to you, I cant imagine what hes going through. Praying for everyone affected.
