AG MAN DIES IN FOUR-CAR WRECK ON HIGHWAY 166

An Arroyo Grande man was killed Friday morning on Highway 166 at Suey Creek Road after his car was rear-ended and spun into oncoming traffic.

Donnie Rodrigues, 33, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, which happened at 8:45 a.m., CHP Officer Gus Lopez said.

Rodrigues was waiting to turn left onto Suey Creek Road, Lopez said, when a big rig rear-ended his 2003 Ford Focus, pushing the car into the westbound lane.

Donnis was my brother, and when he was killed it was the saddest day of my life.He died 2005 but sometimes it feels like yesterday. I visited his grave on monday cuz it was his birthday..i still cry each time i go but i miss him so much..and as much as it hurts i still need to go. He was such a kook and his laugh was so infectious i would bust a gut everytime we got together.He was real you know, he would give the shirt off his back if someone needed it more then he did,i saw him give a guy his coat cuz the guy looked cold..and said shit now im cold!!He would call every holiday and special day just to say he loved me.I miss those calls!He loved music..and we would quiz each other on songs while we drank a forty..he had me laughing so hard sometimes while we were driving places that i would have to pull over so i wouldnt get into an accident...i could go on and on, but i will stop,i guess i just miss my brother.Thank you for posting such kind thoughts about my brother Donnie.Kimmy

Im Donnie's Daughter. I was born July 28, 1993. Im 18 now. And I know Nothing About him except for what I have found here on this website. I dont know what to say...But this is a shock to me. I remember when I was told what happened, it was almost my 13th birthday and it's taken me years to wonder. But here I am. Wondering...
