i hope the motorist is charged with manslaughter. as a biker myself i’m sick of the “i didn’t see them” excuse. yo
ur either stupid, lazy, or both
He is dead…
Scott has been a family friend since I was born. He will be missed. Prayers to his mother. He was all she had since her husband died.
this woman is a nurse at our local hospital and an all around fabulous lady. That intersection is horrible and many accidents have happened there. This was an accident. It doesn’t state either was speeding or she lost control or something. This lady is a great lady who had accident. I do pray for his family and may his soul rest in peace.
I just found out recently that Scott is gone. It breaks my heart so bad. I was still expecting him to show up again sometime and hear his motorcycle in my driveway. I had lost his number and had just began my search for a way to get in touch with him. A part of my heart is gone with him. He was one of my very best friends and I’ll never get to tell him I’m sorry.
