Default Motorcycle Death

Can't blame anyone buy himself!

A Hampshire man died after losing control of his motorcycle and crashing while exiting the Elgin O'Hare Expressway Sunday evening in Roselle.
According to a Roselle Police press release, police were called to Gary Avenue just north of Travis Parkway about 6:41 p.m. Sunday. Once there, they found the crashed motorcycle, with the driver in serious condition.
The driver, whose name is being withheld pending notification of next of kin, was taken to Alexian Brothers Medical Center in Elk Grove Village, where he was pronounced dead at approximately 7:10 p.m., authorities said

According to the release, witnesses said the motorcyclist was traveling westbound on the expressway before exiting at Gary Avenue "at a high rate of speed."

"The crash team is still investigating, we are not officially saying the high speed was the cause of the accident," said Roselle Police Department's Public Information Officer, John R. Lawson.

The motorcycle driver was described by police as being in his 30s

First of all, any death is a tragic thing. Sorry for the family.

2nd, why do you want to point this out? Accidents happen all the time. Any car accidents that day?

3rd How can you have ANY idea that it was his fault and not some mechanical failure or something else?



I dont get it.

Soooo. you got "Can't blame anyone buy himself!" from this article? It says the crash team is still investigating, could be mechanical failure? Witnesses say he was going fast? Witnesses in cars? They usually think we are flying when we are not. Hell, maybe he hit something in the road? But, there are those who need to talk about such things, so jabber on ........

Yup, the fashion police position was filled along with the "this is how to ride" patrol, so I had to opt for cool authority.
