responsible ~or the protection and maintenance of
buried fiber optic cable,
That job entails anything from riding in your
truci':, just patrolling the cable to digging ditches,
to digging potholes, to digging holes to put marker
poles in. Involves a lot o~ carrying of heavy
equipment such as lii':e chop saws, it's a gasoline
powered saw,
YoU have to carry mari':er poles which are quite
heavy because they are probably about 12 foot long,

Speed of my vehicle was maximum of 30 milefJ an hour.
IUJd there'S been so~\e - - you were here for the

descriped that this .. in your line o~ travel, it
would have sloped downward toward this interseotion.
Is that correct?

That's correot.

IUJd from, say, the crest of the area to going downhill
toward the interseotioll wherc this accident ocourred
,
you were going approximately 30 miles an hour?
That's correct.
HoW do you remember that you were going approximately
30 miles an hour?
aecause the speed limit on the road is 40. When I
approached that intersection, because I use it also, I
just automatically when I see vehicles there, start
slowing down,
So I know -- and I know I wasn't going 40 to
begin with, I was probably going about 35.

When they did the road they put the atop /3ign at thQ
exit ramp he wan ooming of~ of. And you oan't Ilee
traffio coming to your le~t ~rom where the stop /3ign

Yes. I seen Mr, Guyer at the stop sign stopped and I

About dght there without gQtting l'ain.
All right. I'm not even going to a~tempt to ~ay what
degree that is --
WMat degree that is I don't know.

Ye~. Faot is, now that you mentioned it on the
driving, when I started getting the terrible headaches
when I am dr.i ving, you know, I act4ally .. I normally
pull off the road because that aqtually even affects
my vision somewhat.
You know, li~e you hurt so bad it's almost li~e
you are seeing stars or something, so I'll normally
pull off the road, take a pill and let it kind of take
effeot and then go back out again.
Did you reoently have an MRI again?
Yes. On ~he 21st ot July.
Of July. Where was that done?
Hershey Medical.
