Killed in MC crash today: Updated article

**Cajunrider** · 02-07-2010, 04:24 PM

One of Terrebone Parish's finest was killed this morning while escorting a Mardi Gras float. He had ridden for many years and was very well trained. Seems like a freak accident involving a breakdown in communications. This happened about 7 miles South of my home on the same highway. The article is two pages. The second page can be accessed at the bottom of the first. Prayers and condolences for his wife and 5 kids. The top link is todays Houma Courier article with multiple pages. It explains in more detail how the accident occurred. It also tells of the agony the poor girl who struck him is going through.

Very sad and tragic.

Whether you are in a car or on a Motorcycle...or for that matter bicycle....NEVER EVER PROCEDE WHEN SOMEONE WAVES YOU THROUGH TRAFFIC WHEN YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO SEE EVERYTHING FOR YOURSELF.

I have seen 100's of accidents like that over the years...cars usually just end up banged up and maybe minor injuries. Motorcycles usually end like this sad story.

Thoughts and prayers to both families.
