Map shows location of fatal truck accident on Hwy 73 on Dec. 2, 2012 just east of Watford City, ND.<\/p><\/div>\n
The accident occurred on Sunday evening at about 8:30 p.m. on Highway 73 when the victim ran his Toyota pickup truck into a semi truck that pulled out in front of him.<\/p>\n
The victim was identified as 77-year old Eugene Felker of Trenton, Texas.<\/p>\n
The North Dakota Highway Patrol told the media that Felker was driving a 2006 Toyota pickup east on Highway 73 in heavy fog when he approached a truck pullout near mile post 10.<\/p>\n
The semi truck driver, identified as David Whitter of Plantation, Florida, was parked at the pullout in a 2005 International semitruck with a trailer. As Felker\u2019s Toyota approached the pullout, Whitter pulled his semi onto Highway 73.<\/p>\n
According to the North Dakota Highway Patrol, as Whitter drove out of the pullout, Felker\u2019s Toyota slammed into the tractor trailer Whitter was pulling. Felker\u2019s Toyota spun clockwise and hit the semi again on the driver\u2019s side.<\/p>\n
The trucker told the Highway Patrol that he never saw the Toyota due to the heavy fog at the time.<\/p>\n
The incident remains under investigation at this time.<\/p>\n
