The state has already confirmed that the body was discovered Sunday morning out near the crash site. The body was not entangled in the car.

This article by a local news team has more info than most of the major sources which seem to be basing their articles on a wire posting.

I hope the good people of South Dakota don't fall for the cover-up. It is pretty obvious what happened.

Did you read the article? It does seem obvious what happened, when you read it. The victim drove his pickup off the road into a hay bale, wrecked the bumper, got a ride home from his cousins, inexplicably returned to his wrecked truck, and then was struck.

If his truck was off the road, it seems unlikely that he was actually standing in the road.

This is for a couple reasons. If he struck the deer (and the deer survived) but did not have a gun or knife on him, you would call the sheriff so that they could come out and kill the deer all the way. This is considered the most humane thing to do in most cases if the deer is injured. Also, you would call the sheriffs office to have them come check out the scene to see if the body is still on the road so that they could get rid of the road hazard.

Also, the guy called it in pretty much as soon as it happened. Not 36 hours later like some people reported. We do not have enough info at this time to determine guilt.

The man he hit may not have been killed instantly. He might have been saved if the AG stopped and checked. Even if he believed that he hit a deer, which is at least questionable, he did not SEE a deer so he should have stopped and gone back to check.

Yeah, if you see a wounded deer on the side of the road you might do it. But no sober person would expect a state trooper to track a wounded animal in the woods based on a mile marker.

Bolded for emphasis. Most police officers would make an effort to put an injured deer down.

If he drove his truck off the road, went home, and returned at 10:30 at night, he definitely could have been standing in the road or could have been wandering anywhere.

The call to police, once home, miles away from the scene, some time after the accident, appears to have been a ploy to wiggle out of a hit and run charge, once, or if, a body was found, i.e., "I didn't hit and run, I called it in (much later), thinking it was a deer."

Yes it happens all the time, hence the "Move Over" law. We will likely never know the truth but he'll always be guilty of manslaughter to me. The behavior is just like every drunk driver who has had a similar accident.

Well he has said he wasn't drinking at the bar, although it's unprovable at this point.

The victim's earlier behavior that night had already been erratic. On a dark road at night, I am a little less sure than you are.

The victim's behavior is erratic??

The road is dead straight, flat, and there is a shoulder. It's not in the woods It's running through farms about 1/2 mi west of the main road through highmore.

Does someone really need to explain why they went to their truck? Maybe he left something in it. It's not exactly far from town.

If he was drinking there will be witnesses to it. But even if he was stone cold sober, he still killed someone.
