HIBBS, Pa. (AP) A man angry about an argument chased down a motorcycle and rammed it with his pickup truck, killing the bike's two riders, state police said.
Edward A. Belch, 44, of McClellandtown, apparently got in an argument with the motorcycle's passengers Tuesday evening, authorities said. The two people then got on the motorcycle and left, and Belch followed them on state Route 21, passing other vehicles, until he hit the motorcycle, police said.
Terri Lynn Gresko, 44, and a 54-year-old man whom police didn't immediately identify died at the scene.
Belch was being held in the Fayette County jail Wednesday after being arraigned on two counts of criminal homicide Tuesday. It was not clear what the argument was or how Belch knew the other two people, state police said.

I never enter a dark kitchen; I always turn on the lights to give the cockroaches a fighting chance. :)

One of my best friends brother got 2 kidney tranplants from bikers. He got an extra 6 years on earth out of them. Sign an organ donor card boys and girls.

Did 74 months of what had started out to be a life sentence for dealing weed. Several tons of weed.

Got your time in the saddle beat by a decade, Joe, so I'll add one more rule: Assume nobody sees you and anybody'll run you down at any time. It's helped keep me accident free in almost 50 years of riding (including two incidents where enraged cagers tried to ram me).

Agreed. Even though they may not care if I might hurt them, I do.
Not something that is forgotten easily -- knowing that I killed someone -- even though I might have been in the right.
On the other hand, if it looks like the intention is to cause injury to me or my family (as in your situation), then all bets are off. You lose the advantage when you stop. Same thing applies to cars.

He did his time and it wasn't Meth but Weed!
I don't generalize people and I don't like stereotyping people,like you do!
Many Bikers are Doctors,Lawyers,Accountants or from other respective fields!
I also don't judge people based on their past!
IMO,you are ignorant to the facts about Bikers!

Do you have any idea how expensive those things are? I think you've seen too many drive-in movies. He probably saw The Wild One with Marlon Brando and thinks it's still 1948 with all those ex GIs riding bikes.

I grab a handful of brake and he gets nailed going around the turn. Dumbass!
LOL!!! I did something similar to a stupid kid in a souped up sports car at a stoplight. He kept gunning it, looking for a race. When the light changed, I took off fast, and of course he let go, burning rubber with his accelerator pegged to the floor. I dropped back quickly, because I knew the corner up ahead was the cops favorite place to run a speed trap and sure enough, the punk got nailed hauling ass around the corner. I made sure I smiled and waved when I drove by. Life is good.
