At 1:00 a.m. Saturday morning, 21-year-old Alexander M. Savage died after losing control of his motorcycle at the intersection of Highway 501 and Broadway Street in Myrtle Beach.

Horry County Police Public Information Officer Sgt. Robert Kegler says Savage left the scene of the accident earlier in the night.

Police later pulled him over, but Savage stopped on a bridge.

Kegler goes on to say the officer allowed him to move to a safer place but Savage did not stop again and fled.

That chase resulted in the accident.

Savage is one of five people who died on the road Saturday night.

Sucks... so young, so stupid, so needless.

I have nothing good to say about this. Possibly causing an accident and running from the cops. His actions speak for themselves.

There is much more to the story than what is presented.

Yes, he was totally wrong and in no way are his actions justified.

But he was a 3x combat vet with a slew of PTSD problems and has been getting worse rather than better lately.

That doesn't make a lick of difference to me, he shouldn't of been on a bike at all if he can't control himself.

It sucks that he was going through this and it sucks that he died. Despite my sympathy for him and his family none of that excuses him from the laws of man or nature. He suffered a likely outcome from his decisions and his family is now left with that burden. I do not celebrate any of that but at the same time I am personally unable to excuse it. I feel sorry for his family.
