    We seriously need cameras at particular areas around this country. Too much of this is occurring.

    This individual is highly skilled at riding motorcycles, and I find it difficult to believe that he lost control of the bike. Anyone who is friends with him or closely associated would likely agree.

      Professional racers have accidents all the time. What makes you think that it’s beyond him to lose control? Man made these bikes and they do fail from time to time.

      Clearly, you may not know this individual personally. He often spends time in his yard working on his motorcycle and frequently rides it up the road to ensure it’s functioning properly. While I understand your perspective, I am confident that loss of control was not the issue. Those of us from Jennings, including his close friends and family, know how skilled and experienced he is when it comes to riding his bike.

    Was he wearing a helmet? Was he run off the road or side swiped? Hmmmm this news item has changed too quickly unless it is proven

    I’m a bit confused. I see abs said hit and run but here says he ran off the road. Either way. Who would know if no one saw?

    Even the best of drivers lose controls at times. These things are designed to fail you.

    I heard it was a hit and run. I am hoping that the slow police would come and say something before 2029.
