UPDATED ON PAGE 6
This just happened over the weekend, fairly close to where I live. I'm sure that's all she was wanting for Thanksgiving. RIP Stupid WHITEWATER TWP. – The motorcyclist who hit and killed a woman as she pulled her 2004 Chevrolet Cavalier into her driveway Sunday night was doing “wheelies” just before the crash, according to a 911 phone call released Monday morning. “There was a guy doing wheelies down (Ohio 128) and he has just wrecked,” said Matthew Laney, who lives nearby, when he spoke to a Hamilton County operator. Lynda Colegate, 55, was turning left into her driveway in the 7000 block of Ohio 128 just before 5 p.m. when a 1999 Honda 900 RR motorcycle headed in the same direction hit the driver’s side, according to the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office. She was pronounced dead at the scene. She was not wearing a seat belt. Her cause of death has not been determined by the Hamilton County Coroner’s Office, said Terry Daly, agency spokesman. The motorcyclist, Bobby J. Luke, 27, of Aurora, Ind., was taken to University Hospital, where he remains in stable condition. He also was not wearing a safety restraint or a helmet. He was thrown about 30 feet onto the concrete, Laney told the dispatcher. “He rolled thankfully in the grass a little bit,” Laney said. According to Hamilton County court records, Luke was pulled over for speeding Sept. 16, when an officer caught him going 83 mph in a 55 mph zone while driving a 1998 Dodge Ram. He has been found guilty of other traffic violations in the last few years, including driving an unsafe, overweight vehicle in June and speeding in 2002. At the time of the crash, authorities said Luke was trying to pass several cars in a no-passing zone, sheriff’s officials have said. The crash remains under investigation. Alcohol is a factor, according to the sheriff’s office. ![]() http://news.cincinnati.com/apps/pbcs...S01/311230013/ http://www.local12.com/mediacenter/l...com&navCatId=5 Last edited by Hydrant; 11-24-2009 at 11:16 PM.. |

We should outlaw sportbikes since the masses are simply incapable of handling them.

The second he steps out the hospital, they'll arrest him.
All those violations and he's still allowed on the road. |

Just for the sake of being on the other side of this...
1. As reported he hasn't had any motorcycle related violations. In fact, they went all the way back to 2002... ![]() 2. He may have been doing wheelies BEFORE the accident but no one is accusing him of doing them during the accident. 3. Perhaps if the lady had been wearing her seat belt... just saying. 4. "Alcohol is a factor" but not necessarily for the rider. 5. Who's to say that this lady didn't turn right in front of this guy? In fact maybe she was drunk and driving super slow, causing a back up. This dude gets impatient and attempts to pass too many cars and the drunk chick decides to make that left turn she's been thinking about for a 1/2 mile... ![]() |
