The comments on that link are freaking ruthless. A 26 year old with children.

Prayers for his family.

Compassion is good---not getting killed is better. There is a lesson in each and every wreck. Draw your own conclusions from this one. Didn't bother to read the comments to in depth with the article.

As usual they made more of an issue about his helmet than any real facts about the incident or the idiot who caused it. Sad state of affairs with our so called "news" services.
