Unhappy San Antonio SSR death 8/16/09

I saw the wreck on the news last night, and this morning on KENS5 they gave his name and reported that he died overnight.

Billy Sanders, 44, flipped his SSR on Wurzbach Parkway yesterday, was ejected from vehicle, and the vehicle landed on top of him. They're investigating the cause of the crash, but the TV report said they did not believe alcohol was involved.

Did anyone know him from the SSR meet-ups?

Sorry to hear no matter what they were driving! They say men driving trucks are the least likely to buckle-up.

It was an SSR. Speed was not involved, according to the official police report, and we are still trying to figure out what exactly happened. My brother had actually purchased the SSR the day before (Saturday) the accident. Its strange because he always wore his seat belt and actually drove for a living.

Wurzbach road is supposedly a dangerous road and this is a road that he drove probably four to five times a day so we are all just confused.
