Madison Brooks was hit by a truck in the early morning hours of 15 January. The disturbing reasons for her being in the middle of a dark road would emerge in the following days.

The LSU seniors were on their way home the fateful night the crash unfolded but got out of their vehicle to help the truck driver move what they first thought was a deer off the road.
