"Prodromou" is a Greek surname, with the rough meaning "the one who walks the road before others".

So him being "a visionary" is fun, lol

If that's the literal translation it's also a bit ironic that he was hit by a truck.

... Yeah it is 🫠🥲

In literal terms it translates to "before-the-road" (pro - drómou)

(this literal translation includes the ambiguity of before- as in 'temporally before', or before- as in 'in front of')

So any way you slice it, it's pretty ironic.
