The story you ran on April 28 about the “pedestrian” who died on Interstate 35 near Albert Lea was grossly inaccurate. He was a very dear friend of mine. He was not a pedestrian, as the State Patrol indicated in the story. He was a truck driver, for Decker Truck Lines. His truck had broken down at the side of I-35. He was assisting the tow truck driver (not a construction truck as indicated in the story) in diverting traffic around the scene of the breakdown. I wish the news agency would have reported the facts correctly.
