Steelhauler's wife here, updating on the status of his wreck.Just to recount Steelhauler was killed in a truck wreck.He was hit head on by a bull wagon.The bull hauler was drunk and been driving for 2 days straight. The case went to court and the bull hauler was found guilty on DWI and Vehicular Manslaughter charges.He was sentenced to 50 years in prison.He won't be eligible for parole for 35 years.Considering he is 53 years old,he will be pretty old,if he gets out. Thanks for everything.

 

First time hearing about wreck. sorry for your loss. where, when did this happen ? :cry:

 

Glad they threw the book at the guy.

 

It was Highway 287 just outside of Wichita Falls,Texas. He had just leased on to a company hauling wind turbine parts.

 

I'm so sorry for your loss. I wish you peace and comfort.

 

The guy doesn't deserve as good as he is going to get. My condolences to you.

 

Thank you for the update....I am glad that justice was served.

I don't post here often, but wanted to extend my sincere sympathies to you and your family.

I too am glad that the other "driver" was put away for a long time. Absolutely inexcusable behavior.

You will be in my prayers.

 

Dear Steelhauler's wife...I just saw the post about your husband's accident. I understand your loss totally as I too am a widow too due to a accident. I am approaching the 4th anniversary of my loss so I am just a few steps ahead of you on this long sorrowful path.

If you ever need to talk just PM me. I would be more than willing to call you if you want. Sometime talking with someone who understands your pain eases it.

Best wishes to you and yours . .

That was some swift justice.
