JBaker provided a lot of detail in his post, thanks. I'm guessing here but is it possible there was alcohol involved and the other rider was drunk. That would be the only reason I can think of fro him leaving the scene..

RIP Mr Jackson...
I'm 63 and I was talking about the guy who left him laying there. I'm just *****d that anyone would do that. What the he*l are you doing drinking that much and riding. If they were drunk, he still didn't deserve that way to die, alone.

I do agree with your last statement.

I don't know if they were drunk or not, just hypothesizing.. this is the only reason I could think of for this kind of action.

I was hoping JBaker would post more details as they became available, like the time of the accident and what not but I'm fairly certain this accident is still under investigation.

Don't know why the other guy would leave the scene,but sounds like the first guy may have had a heart attack.Either way he knows what we are all going to find out.
