This is so sad for both families. No matter what caused this accident, both families will suffer. A young life lost and an older life changes forever. Prayers for both families.
I understand your frustration Doug T, but what the story leaves out is that the group he was riding with were traveling at a very high rate of speed at the time of the accident. The high rate of speed and the rise on the east and west sides of the intersection led up to the crash.
May God watch over his family and loved ones.
Uggggghhh!! It’s so frustrating man! That’s an entire life just lost. Because of a split second decision to not pay attention to your surroundings. This young guy, with a mom, a dad, possibly brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles…cousins…Hopes and dreams…goals for his life….all of it completely ripped away in a split second. I hate that shit so much man. God it sucks and it hurts bro. There’s nothing to really say man, I just hope the family can get through this.
Prayers to the familyand loved ones, RIP
