An adored mom was mowed down and dragged to her death by a serial traffic offender in a horrifying late-night hit-and-run that has left a Florida seaside town reeling.
Kjersten Aileen-Hermance Strang, 38, was riding her e-bike along 49th Street South, in Gulfport, around 10pm on Saturday when Xavier Omar Rigby, 22 slammed into her, hurling her onto the windshield of his Nissan Altima.
Rigby was barreling along the road at a 'high rate of speed' when he slammed into the rear of Strang's bike.

And the town would be on fire, police cars would be on fire, stores would be looted.
We’ve reached maximum fatigue; the pendulum is swinging.
I say if you riot or commit a crime or harm anyone the gov’t has the RIGHT to CANCEL YOUR CONTRACT WITH THEM FOR any government money. CUT OF THEIR welfare, food stamps, section 8 OR any GOVERNMENT $. Every government program you accept comes with CONDITIONS. If you break the CONTRACT you LOSE.
I swear the rioting will stop. Soros does not pay enough to the paid rioters for them to lose their government $. CUT THEM OFF GOV”T TAX $.
There shouldn’t be any government welfare, food stamps, section 8 housing period. No unemployment, no Medicare, mo Medicaid, no SS etc. it all needs to go.
in a sane world, that would be a very good idea. You get an arrest record and you are on your own. America has a sickness—- Pathological Altruism: the need to help people, to fix other people’s many problems at great cost to your own well-being. It’s sick and it needs to die. We need to take care of ourselves. We spread ourselves too thin. The endless wars, the trillions in social experiments, the aid, the welfare etc. Gotta close all those “gaps.” Gotta be fair. Our system is insane and it makes our nation suicidal
Well said. The government only takes from me, I receive nothing. All those programs need to be obliterated. Will they? Of course not. As Trump would say— “ sad”
hmm. That’s exactly what this guy said. Hopefully you can restrain yourself enough to not kill anyone.
It’s a struggle...
Speak for yourself. I am no fan of bicyclists - especially packs of them riding up and down our beach. That said, this was a young mother that did nothing to deserve this.
A piece of advice if you want to live a long life...
Do not go biking and share the street you’re travelling on with a 4,329 pound vehicle that can travel at speeds of over 100 mph. That is the definition of a death wish.
the kids ride the e-bikes today that go about 40 mph. They ignore traffic rules though. They think: “I’m just a kid on a bike.” I saw a video once where a kid on a bicycle beats a motorcycle by a huge margin. It’s basically a bicycle with a motorcycle engine on so they can go 100 miles an hour. They’re gonna have to start addressing them and making sure that they stop at stop signs and have turn signals and all sorts of things because it’s basically like driving around a car.
Because it’s a felony? Because you get serious jail time (if you’re white)? Just a couple of reasons why wish fulfillment is best not carried out.
I used to go to work on a heavily trafficked 4 lane road before sunrise. Inevitably there were bicyclists, but everyone just went around them. There were joggers too, most of whom stayed on the sidewalk. However, occasionally one would decide that running on the sidewalk did not fulfill the exhibitionistic goals of jogging and would run in the road - not the shoulder because there wasn’t one - just in the road against the traffic. These people (or maybe the same person it was always a male) were either so arrogant that they believed they were immune to the physics of 4000 lb vs 190 lb or they had a death wish and wanted to mess someone else’s life up fulfilling it
You’re the defn of someone who shouldn’t have a drivers license.
they really are. One almost ran into me at about 40 mph the other night in the dark. He rolled through a stop sign and came right at me. Thank god I saw him
