"Local police say the collision occurred on a four-lane municipal road, when the driver of the truck made an illegal U-turn, colliding with Abe who was closing in on the truck from behind on its righ-hand side.
The truck driver told police he realized he had mistakenly taken the wrong way, and tried to get back on track"
