My cousin and her husband were very experienced motorcycle riders. One night they topped the hill and slammed into the back of a semi that had stalled in the road. Instant DOA for both.
Several local people here have lost loved ones due to motorcycle wrecks, and about 14 years ago I had the dubious pleasure of pumping a boy’s chest to keep him alive till the ambulance arrived. He went around me at a high rate of speed and slammed into a car making a legal left turn.
What surprises me is so many of the wrecks, except the one above, were not the fault of the motorcyclist.
Just about a month ago the University of Florida football team had a player and young lady who was the girlfriend of anther guy on the team get in a motorcycle accident. Just a quick joy-ride, but they both died instantly. So young, so sad.
