He said he was driving on Bryant Drive in Sardis near Turk’s Bama Bucks. Lighting is poor in the area, both James and McDaniel said, and as James passed the deer farm, he said there was a truck stopped in the road in front of its gate.
The truck’s bright lights blinded him for a moment, James related, and he looked down for about 2 seconds. By the time he looked up, the impact occurred.
