“I am an independent contractor to cr england. While southbound on I-77 toll road 000.2 miles ssw of gallagher wv approx. 20:54:00hrs I smelled heavy exhaust gasses when paused back at the toll booth. I attributed this to a vehicle in front that was out of tune and continued south. The odor did not go away so I pulled over to the hard shoulder to investigate. As I moved into the shoulder the dash lights lit up and flashed. I applied the brakes and opened the driver side door to check the crackling noise coming from behind the firewall. …”
