Observation Date / Time

Weather: 68 degrees and sunny with light breeze. Hit in front of home. People came out with shovel to move to other side of road for scavengers. As this was being done, a large black truck traveling at least 50 mph heading WB sped past, possibly the same vehicle that struck the squirrel, as it appeared to have been hit and crushed by a fast moving vehicle. Body was in EB lane. Homeowner said they have tried to get cars to slow down without success. No help from police/sheriff or local government.
