And that is what cell phones and CB radios are for----medical emergencies....I really think he'd have called 911 or his wife if he was suddenly feeling sick enough to stop in the road.
Using Google Street View there appears to be no cameras at the electrical substation site at the intersection of N14 and D15 that I can see.
Has it been noted yet that there is no shoulder or place to pull off road? I have semis deliver horses to my farm periodically and the drivers have told me they're too heavy to turn around on grass. It is likely David could not have pulled off this road.
If this is accurate, he was even farther north than we thought, past the intersection where he would have turned to the nearby pig farm. Wonder where he was going?
Looking at street view, there are several other farms just north of the truck location. One or two look like potential pig farms?
There is not much of a shoulder along the road, but there is some. You can see some gravel in the picture courtesy of Sarah. Street View shows mostly grass. Occasionally the county maintenance crews will grade the shoulders which will turn up the gravel, this must have been done since the Street View images. I don't think the truck would have been all that heavy with a load of young pigs to be worried about pulling slightly off to the side of the road onto the shoulder and having a problem with getting stuck if David had experienced a mechanical issue or actually parked there.
Does anyone know or has it been discussed if DS had a CB radio in his truck? If he did, that could have been his way of communicating with another trucker or someone and that communication couldn’t be traced, correct? Maybe a way of getting him to turn off his route to help someone out? Set up? JMO, another theory.
Thanks so much for those images.
While I agree with the shippers not turning around on the grass, no shipper would stop in the middle of the road
A photo of his truck from July 22 shows 2 CB antennas on his truck, so I assume, yes.
The StreetViews were taken in July and November 2021. Cameras may have been installed since then.
In your last image above of from KTIV, of the intersection that shows a car in it, why does it look like there's a huge dip in the road, whereas the 2009 and 2021 Google Street View images show it as super flat. I can't imagine the terrain would have been altered for some reason in 2 years... ?Later in the video from the article the reporter is standing where the truck was reportedly found. He's pointing to where the jacket was found, so he's standing in the southbound lane looking south:

Even later in the video there's a closer view of the N14/D15 junction near where the truck was found:

This is an old street view from 2009 so the trees etc. have probably changed a bit, but to me it looks like the reporter is standing here looking south towards the N14/D15 junction:

It's between 180th St and D15/190th St. but really close to the junction.
I’ve been thinking this is the case too. I just recently thought about the case from Bardstown, KY where someone put branches in the road to lure Jason Ellis, a police officer, out of his car, and he was shot multiple times when he got out. Obviously David wasn’t killed in the road, but this type of scenario is the only one that makes sense in my head. JMO.
