In a cross between the Darwin Awards and the Bubba variety show, the promoter of a MONSTER TRUCK event in MADISON WI. died in a tragic accident on Saturday night.
Aside from the obvious stupidity of MONSTER TRUCKS in general, what really makes this story disturbing is how everyone seems to want to watch the MONSTER TRUCK ACCIDENT VIDEO... Maybe for some pointers on their own back yard routine.
The sad part is, earlier this month, a 6 year old boy was killed at a Tacoma Monster Truck show.
he veteran driver whose vehicle killed a promoter at a monster truck show told investigators he never saw the man walk into his path, authorities said.
It was the nation's second fatal accident at a monster truck show in a little over a week.
George Eisenhart Jr. suffered severe internal injuries when he was hit by the huge truck Saturday at the Motor Sports Monster Truck & Thrill Show at the Dane County Coliseum, the coroner said. The show was immediately halted.
The big blue truck with oversize tires was driven by its owner, Daniel Patrick, who authorities said has been a driver on the circuit for more than 20 years.
Amateur video broadcast on television showed a man walking in front of the truck.
"Our preliminary investigation shows neither Eisenhart nor the truck driver saw each other before the collision," Coroner John Stanley said at a news conference Sunday.
Authorities said Patrick would not be charged. Sheriff Dave Mahoney said it appeared all safety precautions had been taken and called the death "a very tragic accident."
