Quinn Dabresky, a 47 year-old bartender from Idaho, was driving to Florida his 1985 Chevrolet S-10 on a road stretch in New Mexico.
He was trying to pass a huge tractor. He accelerated and switched lane, only to see a Burnside convertible, driven by Alex Louville coming towards him. Quinn braked and Alex steered away. Mr. Dabresky hit Alex in the rear fender, causing him to slide under the tractor. Quinn flipped and rolled.
