Scooter rider dies in Lorain accident

This happened while we were in Lorain over the holiday, the rider has since died of massive head injuries (no helmet),

the driver of the suv that struck the rider was drunk AND fled the scene, he was caught thanks to a good

samaritan that chased him down until police caught him.

While we were in town over the weekend we saw very few people wearing ANY gear up that way. :(

Even the few sportbikes we saw, I only remember seeing two of them wearing helmets, no other gear :nono:

RIP to the rider, and condolences to that family. The kid blew a .171? Holy shit! 23 is plenty old enough to know better. He needs to do some serious time in the joint and have his license revoked. Permanently.

Wow, this is a terrible situation. Awesome to see the samaritan follwed the guy until the cops could catch up. Since the guy ended up dying I wouldn't be surprised to see some type of manslaughter charge tacked on to the rest of the charges.
