MADISON, Wis. — The veteran driver whose huge 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.

The promoter, 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.

Shit has been going on for years and not very many people have died in the sport or audience. If this should be banned, so should demo derbys, motorcross events, drag racing, and just about anything else.

Sucks about what happened, but once again CRX shows what a dumbass he is.
