Default Another idiot Kills

2 killed when truck hits motorcycle
By Associated Press

Wednesday, July 08, 2009

CHATSWORTH — Officials say two people from Dalton have been killed when the motorcycle they were riding was sideswiped by a pickup truck.

The Georgia State Patrol identified the victims as 39-year-old Ty Woods and 29-year-old April Lynthlin, who authorities said was in the latter stages of pregnancy.


Authorities said a Ford Ranger driven by 55-year-old David Sloane of Dalton crossed the center line Sunday night and hit the motorcycle. An investigation was being done by the state patrol’s Specialized Collision Reconstruction Team.

Wow, an expectant mother? I have to disagree with the article, that's three dead. I've heard my soon to be born son's heartbeat from the 11th week. That makes it a life.

Sad, very sad. Prayers for the family.
