Default It happened again..."I didn't see him"

This one hits close to home. Happened today. My little brother's wife's brother. My brother sold him the '04 Superglide last year when he returned from Iraq. Very sad. The kid supposedly said that he stopped, looked both directions and "didn't see him".


Motorcycle-car crash kills Iowan

An Exira, Iowa man died Thursday afternoon when a car collided with his motorcycle.

Ryan Ira Adkins, 32, was headed north on Highway 71 when a car pulled into the intersection, striking the motorcycle and killing Adkins, according to the Iowa State Patrol.

The car, driven by Benjamin Nolan Christensen, 17, had been stopped at the intersection of Highway 44 and Highway 71, before Christensen drove forward and struck Adkins, according to the Iowa State Patrol. Christensen, of Kimballton, was taken to Audubon County Memorial Hospital.

The accident is under investigation.

I didn't really know the guy but my wife did. I guess my sister-in-law is taking it really hard.

Didn't see him because he wasn't looking. Bunch of crap. They better charge him with no less than vehicular homicide.
