I am the neice of the man that was killed in the accident. For those of you sending prayers, thank you...both families are in need of them. For those who are arguing about details....shame on you. There are two families in need of love, support and prayer and who have experienced great tragedy today. Where has our decency gone when something of this magnitude happens and we focus on who is to blame rather than the fact that human life has been lost? Regardless of who was at fault, I lost my uncle today. His wife lost her husband and his children lost their father. My grandparents lost their son and my aunts/uncles lost their brother. Put things in perspective. Those of you who think you know what happened....YOU WEREN'T THERE. Prayer is welcome...blaming is not.

I wasnt going to post on here but all the craziness about who and what happened has forced me to. First i would like to say my sympathey goes out to the family of the man killed. Second OHP reported that Ryan said he was tiered when they got to him in his car on the scene first of all ive never been in a wreck but can only imagine the trauma your body is going thru and it has no idea what happened. If u know u are going to fall asleep do u people really think that hes just going to keep driving.So if he fell asleep is he really gonna know that right away probably not... I think everyone should look at the fact that all this was said before any investigating took place and where is the truck drivers voice he should be able to clear all this up??? I know what i have heard from people close to ryan about what happened but as far as family members writing telling others to read the police report....HAVE YOU??? WHERE YOU THERE??? Like what has already been said there were 2 victims not just 1 so please keep that in mind!!!!

Generally speaking - not in reference to this accident.
This road could be better -- agreed. But I travel this road Mon. thru Fri. morning from the port to 169 at 4:45am. The road itself is not what I'm on guard about - too many drivers are just careless and over aggressive. For example: I noticed this accident ahead of me this morning and began shutting down, as I did, the person behind me whipped out and passed me and 2 others before he/she realized there was an accident in front of them. They barely got stopped in time. I have been passed MANY times when it was not safe to do so, and I have had to practically stop for others passing toward me in the oncoming flow.
Unsafe driving is really the reason for the bad record on this stretch of road. Everybody is headed to work and some think passing 2 or 3 cars in a line of traffic a half mile long will actually make a difference.
I would vote for 4 lanes to the port. I think that would help. At least we slower, more cautious drivers would have a lane to hide in.

This has got to be the most rediculous thing to say right now. Were you there in the car with the man? NO! And YES, it WAS an accident...he did not get in his car today planning on killing the man. I am SURE you have done something stupid behind the wheel of a car in your lifetime and if you try to say otherwise, you are full of S***.
Selfishness and lack of good judgement? Obviously you don't have very good judgement to come on here and say something so horrible about someone who accidently ruined the lives of another family, and possibly his own. Also I agree...when you have to be at work (if this is the case) you can't just call your boss and tell him that you are too tired to make it in today. Supporting a family is something that can't be taken as a joke, especially right now when prices of everything are going up.
Consider what you are going to say, before you say it. That way, next time...you don't come off as an idiot as* hole who is hateful and SELFISH for not thinking of how your comments can affect others.
It had nothing to do with speeding...
AND it wasn't and "accident"..it was a collision caused by a person who should not have been behind the wheel. They were obviously too tired yet decided to get behind the wheel and in turn fell asleep while driving and ended up killing an innocent person because of their selfishness and lack of good judgement.
Please..if you are too tired DON'T get behind the wheel of a car....instead get some rest THEN go to your destination.
Sleeping while behind the wheel is getting to be a rather scary epidemic

After reading some of these comments, B-Force is the closest to what actually happened. I am a close friend of the kid that's fighting for his life, another friend that's at the hospital with him said that he believed he fell asleep because 1 minute he was moving and the next he seen flashing lights. I myself have been in accidents like that to where I thought I fell asleep because I couldn't remember anything. So those who judge or act like they know should honestly just keep it to themselves.

The OHP report said it was the Mustang driver who fell asleep at the wheel and hit the semi then hit the other car head on killing the driver. I would think they would be more qualified to determine the cause of the accident than the so-called eye witnesses who have yet to be named.

We must not forget the familes of the victims. My husband works out at the port and this is very true. Some wife got a kiss goodbye for the last time. And kids could've said goodbye to there dad for the last time. Enjoy every day and every moment we never know when it will be our last.

I am a friend of the guy that was driving the focus. I have rode to work with him several times. and he did not pass cars, he never did. he will drive whatever speed that the traffic is going. he was a very good friend and he will be greatly missed. my prayers go out to his wife and children. I am sure that they will figure out exactly what happened.
