Default Damn cagers!!!

I had the unfortunate task of investigating the death of a 12 year old boy yesterday. He woke up early with dad on the first day of spring break. Dad was taking him to work so they could have some father son time. They climbed on the bike just before 700. Off they went. about 2 miles from dads work an old lady in a cager pulls right in front of them. Dad says he saw it coming started to slow even before she pulled out. He locked up the brakes and just hoped to lesson the impact. His son didn't make it. He escaped with minor injuries. They were both wearing helmets. Keep this family in your thoughts.

That is the worst part of being a LEO, doingfatality investigation when kids are involved. I can't even imagine how his father is feeling right now.

Prayers sent!
