RIP rider and hope the driver/s involved do okay in the aftermath. Not always their fault.
That was my big brother that was in that accident. I know how riding by you only get a glimpse, but we are trying to really piece together what happened as he is a safe and responsible rider. Did he look as though he was speeding and lost control? Or was he cut off by a car and hit the median? Just trying to get some closure.
That was my big brother that was in that accident. We are trying to figure out what happened because he is not a careless rider at all. We are trying to get some closure and answers. I know how it is when riding you only get a glimpse of what happens. Did it appear as though he was speeding and lost control? Did it look as though he was cut off and then hit the median? Any answers you have would be great. Thanks.
