Stuff does happen whether we pretend otherwise or not.  No matter what.  This is but another reminder, however, that stupid stuff is far more likely to happen to someone doing something stupid to begin with.  Poor trucker probably had eyeballs rolling around inside his trailer.

This has been making the rounds for almost a year now.  Too bad these accidents have to occur.  Usually speed plus lack of experience.

There is a saying in the EMS field.... "Those that deserve trauma usually get trauma". Sad as it is, it is usually true. :(

Saw this a year or so ago.  This happen an hour or so up the road from here.

Motorcycles are dangerous when someone gets on them that does not respect the power of the bike and the traffic around them.

The family wants helmet laws and the banning of alcohol.  This dipchit had a full face helmet and nobody said he was drinking.  We live in a woose society where no one is to blame for their own actions.  That's the bottom line.

Most unfortunate for the family-and the young man that paid the top price for his choice of high speed!
