I work in the automotive maintenance industry, the gauge being off due to fuel sending units failing is somewhat common. Common enough to keep 1 or 2 in stock. It's not unheard of.

Or Dwayne could be an idiot that forgot to fill up the tank. Either/or - he obviously made a terrible mistake just by walking on the highway and he paid for it with his life.

I'm with the others on this one - I don't feel the need to do a deep dive on this. It was a terrible accident and he made a fatal mistake. He's not the first and won't be the last. Hopefully everybody who paid attention to this learned from his mistake and maybe that means we'll see less pedestrian deaths on highways. Maybe not - but life goes on.
