Ask11 you need to seriously shut your mouth. I hope your comment makes you sleep well tonight knowing I'll be sittin up another night with my dad in a coma and possibly never waking up. He wasn't going very fast and didnt have much to drink. It was more so the wet pavement. Speed would have caused road rash and lookin at him even the dr's agreed that neither he or the bike slid more than 10 or 15 feet before stopping completely. Thank you for prayers the rest of you.

questions~ It doesn't say he was stopped. It says he was turning right off of County N onto 59. The more appropriate assumption would be that he ran the stop sign.

I must be missing something in this article, how can speed be a factor when you are stopped on county N at the intersection turning right onto HWY 59 heading towards Newville?

ask11...Your post was a little abrasive. Then, I took a look at your previous posts and realized that this is your wonderfully positive, non-judgemental personality. Someday...it will come back to bite you!

I hope that he will be okay for the sake of his young daughter. Todd is a good guy and enjoyed life to the fullest, maybe too much at times. I send good thoughts to his family and to Ellen. I wish him all the best and hope that he is well, soon!
