Star-Banner: If you decided to take a nighttime walk down one of the county's unlit roads while wearing dark clothing, adding a ball cap to your attire might make work easier for Florida Highway Patrol troopers serving as traffic homicide investigators.
"Normally a ball cap will land close to the point of impact," when a pedestrian is struck by a motor vehicle, said FHP Corporal Mark Weber.
Weber is one of six FHP traffic homicide investigators—part physicist, part policeman, and part victim's advocate—who probe fatal crashes in unincorporated parts of the county.
