Motorcycle Fatality Feb 19,2015

Witnessed as it happen, a terrible and sad tragedy of events unfold that ended with a terrible loss of a man's life. Male approx 43-55years had speed up to overtake me as he did the road was curving and heading uphill. He lost his line and did not lean his bike enough to return to eastbound lane and to avoid a head on collision with an oncoming truck, drove off the road to the shoulder of the oncoming traffic and after several hundred feet was unable to bring the bike to a stop and lost control. The Harley Davidson late model Electra Glide/Road King ejected the rider and it flipped several times before coming to rest. The rider was not wearing a helmet and sustained impact trama to the skull and lost his life before paramedics arrived 7-10 minutes later. I and several other witnesses stop to call emergency services and to try to aid and comfort the man. We said prayers and I held his hand and said a prayer for him. I will never forget this, I too was riding my motorcycle when this happened and I will ask all riders to always wear your gear and Helmets! > reply

USer Comment jdhogranch: JC1975 - I write to you on two counts. First, I have known Shawn since I was 12 years old (over 40 years). He was a larger than life man...always smiling and always energetic. He lived life. That is so much more than most people can ever say. His first love was his wife Gina and not far behing that his son and daughter. And then there was his motorcycle. My husband and I rode with him in 1998 when he was first bitten by the motorcyle bug.I remember the smile on his face. It was so wide and bright. Like all of us, once you get in to it, it is hard to stop. Secondly, thank you for stopping and showing grace and compassion during his last moments. We all too often see all of the bad in this crazy world and people forget that there are still good and wonderful human beings in this world. Your actions are deeply appreciated. May God Bless you. jdhogranch@msn.com 9 years ago > REPLY
