Came upon this Saturday moring about 1/2 hour after it happened. Less than a mile for my house at an intersection I cross regularly a young man ran a stop sign and plowed a Gold Wing, killing the rider. A ticket was given for failure to stop. Will these ever be seen as reckless vehicular homocide? Turns out I work with the rider's son-in-law. Doubt if I'll ever ride by that crossing again without thinking of it.
The two other local deaths this year that I recall were due at least in part to the riders speed and alcohol consumption. This guy was just out for a relaxing Saturday morning cruise.
Watch out for the other guy.
