Disclaimer Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 (edited) LOCAL FIREFIGHTER KILLED IN CRASHNormally I don't post stuff like this (there's enough doom and gloom in the world that I don't have to spread it), but I ride on that road from time to time and it's a reminder to be extra careful at night.I just thought it might be important to share these pics. There are pictures of the totaled bike so if for some reason you're squeamish about mechanical destruction, don't click the link.The article notes the former firefighter was likely killed on impact.Also: CANDLELIGHT VIGIL PLANNEDMore about the rider himself: Avon firefighter killed in motorcycle accident overnight Edited August 18, 2010 by JRMMiii Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP.None of the photos show the LOONG black streak left by his tires from braking (I saw the pic about 2 hours ago).If he did that on a road he knew, it could very well have been an animal in the roadway.RIP rider...
