Gad, it's depressing how terribly-written some news articles are these days.

IMHO, this is not a road rage case, as the argument started on the ground and then the victims mounted and rode away - unfortunately not far or fast enough to get away from this nutter.

However, I can not help but form a mental picture of a guy named "Belch" who drives a pick-up truck.

I was on a recent trip in a car, going to a funeral of all things. Traffic was fairly heavy and some jocker was in the left lane going slower than the speed limit. Several times I had a chance to pass on the right and did but he would speed up to try to prevent it. Because of traffic he would end up back ahead and repeat the process. When I would pass he would glare and give me the finger. On my last pass I just ran away from him and he dropped back to repeat that exercise with others.

There are some scary people out there.

Motorcyclists, oh the horror.

Now were it bicyclists posters on the thread would opine that they had it coming, they understand how the guy in the truck felt, that last week some bicyclist slowed them down, that bicyclists are obnoxious, etc.

Man. First the airplane in D.C. and now this. PA is not having a great day.

Edward A. Belch, 44, of McClellandtown, apparently got in an argument with the motorcycle's passengers

I guess motorcycles don't have drivers...

The person in the above article killed 3 innocent people including a 5 week old baby because he was a juvenile ass and wouldn't let someone pass him. You people that can justify that behavior by a cager or a biker are reprehensible.

GERMAN TWP. - State police spent much of Tuesday night investigating a two-vehicle accident along Route 21 that left two people dead.

A man and woman were both riding on a motorcycle that was struck by a dark-colored pick-up truck near Old Route 21 around 7:15 p.m. Witnesses at the scene said the truck passed several vehicles traveling westbound before ending up behind the motorcycle.

Fayette County Deputy Coroner Elsie Dvorchak said the man was pronounced dead at the scene at 8:12 p.m. and the female was pronounced dead at 8:15 p.m. Dvorchak said the names of the deceased were being withheld pending notification of the victims' families.

State police were on scene throughout the evening piecing together the details of the accident, but no further information was available Tuesday night. The condition of the driver of the truck was also unknown as of presstime.

Along with state police, Footedale, McClellandtown and Edenborn fire crews responded to the scene with Fayette EMS.

A portion of Route 21 around the accident scene was closed in both directions for several hours as state police reconstruction experts conducted their work and troopers spoke with several witnesses.

UPDATE:

Man charged in fatal ramming of motorcycle was under abuse order

The Associated Press

HIBBS, Pa. - A man charged with killing his ex-girlfriend and another man by ramming their motorcycle with his pickup truck was still under a protection-from-abuse order the woman had obtained against him early last year, according to court records.

Edward A. Belch, 44, was charged with two counts of criminal homicide after the Tuesday evening crash on Route 21 that killed Thomas Myers, 54, of Masontown, and Terri Lynn Gresko, 44, of McClellandtown.

Gresko got a restraining order against Belch in January 2004 after she filed court papers alleging that Belch had abused her and her children. Gresko, a mother of six, said Belch had bruised her and broken items in her house.

"He has thrown pliers at the children (and) kicks the dog," Gresko wrote in her request.

Belch, also of McClellandtown, told police after the crash that he was merely trying to pass the motorcycle and that he stopped to see if the victims were all right.

Witnesses, however, told investigators that Belch called Gresko, his former live-in girlfriend, by name and said, "I told you I was going to get you," police said. Witnesses also quoted Belch as saying he was going to spend the rest of his life in jail, police said.

Belch has a history of alcohol-related arrests since 1991, including drunken driving, disorderly conduct, public drunkenness and a probation violation for being drunk, according to Fayette County court records.

Just hours before the fatal crash, Belch posted bond to get out of jail where he had been since his arrest on harassment and assault charges after a Mother's Day argument with Gresko.

Gresko told police that Belch pushed her to the ground, threatened to punch her, and hit her with a vanity mirror. Belch also broke Gresko's telephone and ripped the door off her refrigerator during the 1:30 a.m. argument, which occurred after the couple spent hours at a bar, police said.

Belch and Gresko argued after he accused her of having sex with other men, which she denied, police said.

Belch remained in the Fayette County Jail on homicide charges Wednesday and it was not immediately clear whether he has an attorney.
