In Memory Of Rufus Murry Wilson

. . . the tractor-trailer was backing into a residential driveway on Route 460. The tractor-trailer was blocking the road and the 95-year-old, Rufus Murry Wilson, struck the tractor-trailer on the side with his Chevrolet Silverado.

Rufus, of the 100 block of Baptist Road in Wakefield, died on impact. https://www.wavy.com/news/local-news/isle-of-wight/95-year-old-man-dies-after-crashing-into-tractor-trailer-on-route-460-in-windsor/

Note: In order to raise awareness and preserve the memories of underride victims — precious ones gone too soon — I have been writing memorial posts on what appear to me to be underride crashes. I am not a crash reconstructionist, and I do not have all the facts on these crashes; but underride should be investigated as a potential factor in truck crash injuries and deaths.
