Connecticut Trooper Kevin Miller was killed due to truck underride last Thursday when he rear ended a tractor trailer. He should have been protected from this senseless tragedy which can happen to ANYONE at ANY TIME.
His family will probably get his death certificate in the mail like we did. It will not mention DEATH BY UNDERRIDE. His obituary said: “Kevin unexpectedly entered into eternal life.” Too Soon. He had lots of living left.
AnnaLeah wrote in her statement of faith: “I believe that I, and all true believers, will one day join Him in Heaven.” That fills me with joy and peace. But it was Too Soon. AnnaLeah and her sister Mary had lots of living left.

People place the blame for the death on everything but the lack of effective underride prevention equipment. They blame the victim. They blame the truck driver. Let’s put the blame where it belongs: geometric mismatch between truck and car bumpers. And then let’s hold the trucking industry & the federal government accountable to solve the problem once & for all!
It’s an engineering problem with engineering solutions:
