    It is not a time for questions, they are young and only see dimly. We all were like that but in a different way. My sympathy goes out to loved ones. RIP.

    Car was in the left lane. Big dent in the center of the car. Do you need to finger print now!?
    This police 'investigation' kis nonsense. The scooters are driving on the wrong side. Passing on a curve. Removing they muffler. Driving with no helmet.
    I see this EVERYDAY. How is it the police miss all this!? The noise. The hoodlums that delivers weed. It is ALL scooter boys. We don't need Sherlock Holmes to figure this out!
    Police - start doing your job! When you see this behavior, arrest them. You might save their life later.
