    I don’t know if there will be anymore information released regarding this crash but for anyone reading comments here, I wanted to mention that the young man killed leaves behind a fiancee and 2 baby girls (the youngest born just 2 days after this crash) Please keep this young mother, her 2 babies, and ALL of the rest of this young man’s family in your thoughts and prayers as he will be sorely missed by all of them. Thank you.

    They are my neighbor, and I feel so bad for them. So young with their whole life ahead of them. It’s sad

    So sad. Beach sand and gravel do not mix well for a motorcycle even at regular speeds. Prayers to all involved!
