On Monday, August 7th a 44-year-old man was driving west on secondary highway 278 when he witnessed a man on a ATV. According to the Montana Highway Patrol report, the 44-year-old perceived the ATV driver to be a threat and swerved to avoid him, at this time the ATV went into the path of 44-year-old.
The man hit the ATV on the shoulder of the road and the 21 year-old driver of the ATV was pronounced dead at the scene.
How is a ATV a threat to a semi on a long strech road? ... dont we slow down to avoid collision? I guess we just plow into people now? And how does a semi swerve to avoid but still hits a atv on the shoulder??? Semis don't swerve to shoulder. Did he not slow down or see him? This story sounds dumb and is wrong.
