A 31 year old male customer service representative of an explosives manufacturing firm died in a hospital emergency room approximately 2 hours after having been involved in a preventable night time left-frontal traffic crash with an unloaded dump truck on a two lane downgrade curve in a hilly rural setting. The victim was driving a late model American made company-owned pickup with the headlights in the 'bright' position, when his vehicle crossed the center line and collided with a late model dump-type semi-tractor with double trailer that was west bound and travelling uphill at the posted speed limit in a remote sparsely populated area. The force of impact crushed the engine and passenger compartment of the victim's vehicle, pinning the victim inside the wreckage. First responders were notified approximately 20 minutes after the crash occurred and were on the scene 36 minutes later.
