This accident happened well off Elk River Road on private property. Speeding was not a factor.

Then the truck just flipped over for no reason?

What a thoughtless, rude comment. An 82 year old man lost his life. You’re not entitled to an explanation.

Why was that a rude thoughtless comment? I am sorry for the loss of this man. Tragic for his family and friends. You are the one that posted speeding was not a factor. When people get on these sites they do so for information. Do not give any if you don’t want comments.

Because it was snide. And it’s not your place to tell others what they can and cannot post.
