SAN DIEGO, CA - A Sandpoint area man was killed while on vacation in San Diego. San Diego Police contacted the Moose Droppings in the hopes that we could assist with the Identification of the man. A badly torn and blood soaked wallet was found on the body, with the photo and name defaced beyond recognition, but parts of the address still intact.
According to witnesses the man had been overheard saying that he wanted to go to a restaurant across the street, and before anyone could react he just stepped out into traffic without looking both ways. As it was rush hour and the man had stepped into the road thirty feet in front of a vehicle, the fully loaded dump truck was unable to stop in time from its fifty mile per hour pace. The driver of the dump truck was not speeding at the time of the tragedy.
Police questioned the Moose Droppings as to whether this kind of behavior was normal in the Sandpoint area. The Moose Droppings described the city’s concept of a walking town, and the local citizenry’s habits of stepping in front of motorhomes and logging trucks while expecting drivers to always stop for them. The officer responded with “You have got to be kidding me!” The victims name is being withheld pending notification of relatives.
