My co-workers often remind of a guy that they used to work with that met his maker on the highway that I commute home on. This was several years ago before they paved the shoulder, but evidently he was riding on the road when a semi approached from behind and as he got off on to the gravel shoulder he lost control and fell under the semi's wheels. The shoulder is now paved and next year there is a sidewalk going in, so the danger factor is greatly reduced, but accidents still happen.
