      That car was driving at a high rate of speed when it flipped like that. He hit the poor pedal bike rider with a hard force. I wish the bike rider a speedy recovery.  Case closed! Slow down, people, because you are not the only ones on the road trying to get to your destinations.

    Is this the natural result of riding a motorcyle without a helmet on one wheel, while weaving through traffic and going past a red traffic light texting on the phone with a 5 years old child on the back? And no insurance!!!

    Or was this an accident?

    "An accident is an undesirable, unexpected, and unplanned event that happens by chance and typically results in harm, injury, death, or property damage?"

    When are we going to help save these fools from themselves by enforcing the law.

    The young man was on the side of the road riding. Please don’t judge him, the driver of the vehicle is the one who hit the young man. Same thing when the young man from Sea Cows Bay was hit by the flat bed truck and killed then they try to blame the young man remember that. So before you all go run your mouths get your story straight.

    The poor victim was riding a BICYCLE, not a motorcycle. I wish him the best in healing. Every day, cars and trucks are driving at an elevated speed that scares me half to death. That corner where the accident happened has 2 speed bumps because you cannot see coming around that corner coming from the direction of the church, and people still refuse to slow up. I see it all the time. Prayers for the injured.

    And, instead of feeling true concern for the victim, arguments are over whether it was a pedal, a bike, or a tricycle?

    The level of lunacy, IN THE PLACE!!!

    YA KYANT MEK DIS STUFF UP!!
