I was there unfortunately and haven’t stopped thinking about how painful this must be for your family. I keep checking this site to see if a name was posted. I want you to know your family has been in my prayers all week!
I am a biker myself and it pisses me off when I here this. They make it sound like the cyclist fault when you know damn well this was an old person not looking and seeing what’s coming… Rip to this man and my condolence to his family…
No, it was law enforcement officer, younger, not paying attention.
I was wondering if you ever learned any details? I saw this accident and haven’t been able to get it off my mind such a heartbreaking situation I think about his family all the time. I keep looking on here for any information and I’m so disappointed in the fact that this accident out side of this article has been treated like it never happened. I see posts all the time offering a donation for the family and information given so others might learn from such a life and it’s impossible to find anything? Please let me know if you learn anything that might be something that we can do to support this family during their loss.
If it is true that the female driver in the 4-wheels was a law enforcement officer, then this case is closed, no charges will be filed, and yet another motorcyclist is dead because of inattentiveness. When will it end!
