You may be right on that point, Which is the 2nd but irony of his death. Kennison prior to that had been driving his trans am in and out of on coming traffic passing people in the highway to Laughlin like a crazy person. Very nearly causing accidents. He was being followed the whole way by a van doing the same. Did any of the reports tell you that? Suffice it to say. The van following him cleaned all the alcohol and other stuff from kennisons backseat. Also Kennison was not killed instantly the crash. He got out of his car and sat on the roadside and DRANK alcohol straight from a vodka (I think I on type) bottle before he passed. He was like an hour to two away from medical help where he crashed and died.
Btw, I’m a second hand witness, which is why my memory was fuzzy on the actual crash. My witnesses had just been passed by Kennison a 2nd time (he stopped to take off his T tops) and they saw a big cloud of smoke and heard it up ahead. They stopped. Beer cans all over highway, likely from the pickup truck. They stop, one goes up to Kennisons car, he still in driver seat, unseatbelted. Wife in passenger seat seatbelted. He goes to driver window maybe touches him or just reaches to him. A guy from the van comes running and screaming “don’t touch him get the truck away from him”. My friend backs away, says he knows CPR, offers to assist. At the time, witness did not recognize Kennison, thought he was a Mexican guy. It wasn’t till they got to Laughlin and saw tv news latter did they realize that it was Kennison. I think they had tickets for his show.
Yeah, that’s what I read.
