The man hit on the motorcycle was a Navy Vet. He was an outstanding person with two little girls. He was my friend. R.I.P
Where in the article does it say the 23 year old ran the stop sign AKA California Stop? Do I need new glasses? Could the 29 year old rider have been going at an extreme rate of speed at such the 23 year old was not expecting the 29 year old to be on top of him so fast??
It’s a shame that this young man lost his life and people debate on the driver. He was on his way to work when this tragic accident happen.
RIP
“California Stops” is what those are called and I see this all the time people do not know how to drive anymore. They are to self absorbed to bother to come to a full stop and look for oncoming traffic. People are more selfish then ever. Most do not deserve to drive.
