    Default 2 motorcycle accidents in 3 days in St. George; getting dangerous around here....

    Cyclist riding Harley, not wearing a helmet, runs into a pickup truck. 3 days ago, a cyclist on a Harley, no helmet, ran into the back of an SUV that was slowing for heavy traffic. Both suffered massive head injuries.

    Default Ok But Please..............

    "not wearing a helmet"

    When riding without your helmet, please ensure that your organ donor card is up to date.

    if that is true then i can't feel bad for whatever head trauma comes from the accident. no helmet is a choice tho, not an accident.
