At around 5:30PM tonight a 30 yo rider on what it look to be an older R6, hit a taxicab on 4th and Washington. He died shortly after at St Mary. Saw it on the news at 11:00PM, couldn't quite tell who's fault was it, but apparently speed was a "large factor" and I quoted a leo that was being interviewed. They were saying "the rider did not see the taxi turn left" he was traveling west and the car south. RIP

I had seen it on the 6 o'clock news that day to.  Once again it's one who got away from us.   I wish we could have met them.   :agree
