I do not believe the media reports. I am more inclined to belive he was not seen. Thoughts and prayers to friends and family. Derick |

| Cherry Pie Joined: Oct 2005 From: south of the train tracks I Ride: KFC | My heart was heavy when I left my neighborhood last night & saw the road blocked off. Godspeed to the rider. ![]() ![]() This section was recently re-opened after months of construction that had the whole road ripped up. Not only does the lighting of the street suck at night but road striping sucks too. Impact on passenger side makes absolutely no sense for trying to pass. The first post saying the driver swerved & hit him makes a lot more sense to me. |
