The trooper said Bryan had been at the car wash located behind the store washing his truck and four-wheeler when he pulled from the parking lot onto the highway.“He was pulling out of the car wash parking lot and was making a left turn to go west on the highway,” said Whiles, noting his turn put him squarely in the path of the oncoming 1985 Silverado pickup driven by Myers.
