Two local accidents
We have had two separate accidents over the past 3 days that took 3 lives.
One was a former student of ours and his girlfriend. He was speeding on a crouch rocket, no helmets. The police got him on radar going 80 in a 45 and go behind him. He blew through a red light, then turned at the next road, went about 1/2 mile and hit a trailer that was turning . Both teens died within a couple hours. Analysis: stupidity, plain and simple. The other was a 57 year old man, helmeted rider, that was taking off from a stop light when he was hit broad side by a 88 year old woman that thought she was in the left turn lane and took off when someone honked at her at the light. She was actually in the middle lane and crossed two, that's right, two left turn lanes and hit him. He died within hours. Analysis: a licensed driver that obviously should not be driving because she is not aware of her surroundings. Both are tragic. One could have been prevented by just obeying the law. The other, well, I hate to say it, but some people shouldn't be on the road.
