On hwy 290 headed east out of Fredericksburg. "LS2Bluegoat" from the other forum was killed.

Everyone please remember to NOT use your cruise control when the road is wet. I suspect this might be what happened. He was not speeding, his wife and child were in another vehicle in front of him. She said they were just proceeding at a normal speed in moderate traffic.

Terrible news. Our condolences go out to his family. Was he also a member here?

I always drive slower in the rain but your number can be called anytime. Again our sympathies to the family.

I don't know if he was a member here or not, he was actually one of the moderators on LS1gto.

Terrible news especially with the family there to witness it. Mech is definetly right about cruise control in the rain. just dont use it you have too much lag in reaction time if hydroplaning occurs.

I've known Robert for 3 years, not a good feeling, especially that I can't be there. His funeral is tomorrow, everyone religious or not should pray or give good will for him.
