I was just reading that. Didn’t he die?? So do they usually cite dead drivers/riders?
Good riddance
“A Hazelton man”
Had me worried for a minute there... good thing nobody got hurt.
“Rafael Mateo, 29, was pronounced dead at the scene of the 7:53 a.m. crash”
Geez-o-man! Who in their right mind would do that at 7:53 am? I’ll bet he thought he was a real cool guy for a while there.
New acronym: UDAR.
You see, this could never happen in CA where they issue drivers licenses (valid photo ID) to illegals all the time.
I just has some ahole on a motorcycle do this to me and some other drivers today on a two lane country road. If he had hit me then it would have been head on. This guy didn’t have more than 6 inches to spare.
Hard to garner sympathy for dummies like this.
One did this to me and a trucker next to me while I was driving the family. They could care a less about anybody else and they jeopardize everybody.
For awhile on reddit I subscribed to “watch people die” sub. Many vids of motorcycle riders getting squished. As a rider, it had a big impact.
heh
I see these idiots all the time making stupid moves like this organ donor did...
Really surprised more don’t make it to the morgue more often...
Sounds like a PR name. Hazelton is high percent Hispanic .
I see idiots like this guy all the time driving on I95 near Philadelphia. I rode bikes most of my life (got my boys dirt bikes to ride around our stately manor) but will never get on one again unless it a closed course. Had a horrific spill in Bermuda when I got cut off by a car on the bridge between the north and south islands. My helmet (thank goodness I was wearing one) ground down to the point where the edge of my sunglasses were nicked. You can imagine the road rash. I keep the bloodied shirt and jeans as a reminder.
Great place to grow up. Now, a dung hole!
Won’t prevent his family from filing a civil suit.
Watch this one where you can see the highway workers try to comfort the ghost of the dead cyclist.
Slightly off topic, but it reminded me of signs I saw recently on the back of an ice cream truck that was a great twist on the live/die signs you often see on rear of other trucks.
On the left side the sign said: Ice Cream
And on the right side the sign said: You Scream
“For awhile on reddit I subscribed to “watch people die” sub. “
What the hell is that? There are literally real videos of people dying? Gross, buddy. How do I look it up?
Or a pickle jar.
That way you don’t have to charge any of the other people involved.
At least he was wearing a helmet. Kept his brains from splattering all over the road...
From what I’ve read it doesn’t appear their was much available from the get go.
(snip)
...Although Mateo wasn't cited, he would have been charged with careless driving, according to the police report.
Am I the only person who after reading the second part of this story had to go back and re-read the first part again?
