    It seems like every weekend someone is in an accident and dies. Condolences to the family of the dead man

    Another tragic ending; another soul to be missed.

    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.

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

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

    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?

    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.

    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

  • Tired July 19, 2025, 1:05 PM

    I agree so this news sounds like a lie

  • Friends July 19, 2025, 12:45 PM

    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.

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