This photo and article comes from the Tulsa World. Donald Creed, the 76 year old man who crashed into a line of stopped traffic on June 26, 2009 near Tulsa, OK, killing 10, is expected to take a plea bargain in his negligent homicide case. The driver has not said what happened. His only comment has been he doesn’t remember what happened.
Investigators have determined he was on-duty since 3am. The accident happened approximately 1pm. Creed’s cruise control was set at 71 MPH. The speed limit was 75 MPH. Also, Creed concluded a 22 minute cellphone call 8 minutes prior to the crash.
It is unknown exactly what happened, but witnesses have stated there were no brake lights, and the truck changed lanes without signaling right before impact. Did the driver fall asleep? Maybe, but if he did, he hasn’t admitted it yet.
