Kzoo Posted April 6, 2021 Share #1 Posted April 6, 2021 While riding their bikes this afternoon. Apparently 4 were riding when a SUV plowed into them. One of the three hit was not injured, one with a broken leg and one airlifted with severe head injuries. The driver never stopped. They are looking for a silver SUV with no grill and a missing passenger mirror. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted April 6, 2021 Share #6 Posted April 6, 2021 Not just bikes accidents. It seems that hit and run is becoming more normal these days. It feels like once a week or more the news reports another hit and run on pedestrians, bikers etc. Unfortunately the news seems to rarely report on the results of these folks getting caught. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a country road about 3 miles from my daughter's house. I think how this easily could have been my grandkids, but they are someone's grand kids. Apparently it happened at the end of the driveway of some people we know (friends of my daughter's). The wife witnessed the crash. It's on a road that isn't really used to get to some other place. If you're there, you are probably a local. 14 yo boy with a fractured skull. He is expected to be sedated for several days. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think, if they know the color of the SUV and that there is a missing mirror, they actually know the make, model, and maybe even year (range of years) from the mirror they found at the scene. I hope the kids recover, and the driver is found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm appalled by the "distracted" driving as much as drunk/buzzed/impaired/high driving. We've done relatively good work in my lifetime fighting drinking and driving, but distracted driving - and the inherent selfishness of it - seems to still be "okay" yet just as deadly. I think a selfish distracted driver may also be selfish enough to leave the scene - which is really scary as they are not even technically "impaired" in their decisions. Regardless, multiple kids hit. One dies and the others are harmed in countless way, and ALL because someone was doing something wrong. Too tragic for words.

Square Wheels Posted April 19, 2021 Share #35 Posted April 19, 2021 I cannot imagine the pain of the kids, and the parents - and all friends and family of those associated with these children. Truly tragic. I am in no way condoning what the driver did, but their life is essentially over too. They caused harm, death, and lifelong pain for so many. They will never be the same. Horrible on so many levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
