"Three of the motorcyclists died at the scene. The fourth was taken to Brooksville Regional Hospital and pronounced dead. A 54 yr young motorsicklist from Stuart FL was on an '05 Hardley ,the other victim was on an '03 Hardley, and was a year older. He was from Beverly Hills, so says the F.H.P." area of Country Road 476 and County Road 629 "Investigators say the truck driver was unable to slow down in time and struck both motorcycles ejecting both the driver and passenger on each bike." Seems to me that the truck driver had the option of steering off the road. Such a beautiful area this time of year. Such a waste. Tragic.

Paul W Sermons of Bushnell, FL- His contact info is available on Google. We should all write him some friendly letters telling him to pay more attention...

When Sermons tried to pass, he was literally 2.3 miles from his home.

If people would just slow down, more lives would be saved. So very unnecessary!!

Police say he didn't realize how close the motorcycles were in the eastbound lane of the county road. He says he wasn't able to slow down and hit both bikes.
So, because of size, we are either too small to be seen at all, or are that big we are actually farther away than we appear? 
IMHO I reckon he just didn't give a monkeys bum and just expected the bikes to get out of the way cos he was bigger

Hate to say it guys, but it's just that season again. Be careful out there. http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/news/st...AB?OpenDocument
Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.
