'''Roberto Molina Alvarado''' was a truck driver for the Texas-based company Gregory Express who was killed during [[Hurricane Ivan]] on [[September 16]], [[2004]] when his truck drove off a section of the [[Interstate 10]] [[Escambia Bay bridge]], spans of which had collapsed from the rising [[storm surge]].
Alvarado, 46, was the son of trucker and started in the business as a teenager. He had a family in Toppenish, Washington. Against the warnings of his mother, he had agreed to haul a load of fruits and vegetables from Brownsville, Texas to Miami.
He got caught in the storm, but attempted to cross the bridge over [[Escambia Bay]] regardless. He drowned when the cab of his 18-wheeler detached and fell into [[Escambia Bay]]. Divers recovered his body on [[September 17]].
