It doesn't matter if he was in the road or off to the side of the road...loading or unloading the truck; the fact is he was there and anyone passing him should have proceeded with caution because the truck was there and anyone could have been moving around the vehicle. If you are blinded by the sun then slow down and adjust your visor so you can see, if you are proceeding blindly you are endangering everyone on the road including yourself. Sun blindness is usually only momentary and how do you not see a semi and trailer that big. Any way you look at it, it was an unnecessary death and Harold Jones will be missed by many!
