TRUCKERS' LIFE * USA - Truckers and pedestrian suicide

* New Jersey - ' ... I can't stop screaming about dead people when I sleep'


-- Trucker Bob Eason can't sleep at night. He's haunted by what happened in September on Route 287... In the past eight months, at least four people died on New Jersey roads after they ran into the paths of tractor-trailers. Their deaths leave gaping holes in the lives of their families and friends, but the truckers have to live with that trauma as well. Eason was one of those truckers... Unfortunately, he's not alone... Earlier this month, a 16-year-old girl died on Route 78 after she was struck by a tractor-trailer, less than a month after a young woman died in the same manner on that highway... Authorities haven't officially said these two recent deaths or the crash Eason was involved in were suicides. Barring evidence like a suicide note, investigators say, it's often hard to say definitively whether a crash involving a pedestrian was a suicide. But officials have confirmed that these individuals ran in front of tractor-trailers, which, experts say, is an extremely uncommon method of suicide... In Eason's case, he was returning to Pennsylvania after making a delivery in northern New Jersey when, he said, a Denville man parked his vehicle on the shoulder of Route 287, hid in front of it and then jumped in front of his tractor-trailer...
