After coming home from an awesome week of riding at Cooperland I find out that one of my schoolmates died on the 4th. He played on my football team in the 7th grade and we were pretty good friends up until I went to high school then we sort of lost touch.
I found out that he was with some of my friends who were goofing off trying to race and passing each other at high speeds. One of them swerved in front of the other too close and their truck flew off of the road hitting a big tree. There were four people in the truck (driver, one passenger in the middle, another on the left, and one kid in the back.) and none of them were wearing seatbelts. Nobody was seriously injured except for shane, the truck had gotten smashed up so bad that the dash pinned him in. He died about half an hour later on the way to the hospital from head trauma.
Now I have four friends at my school that have to live with what they did that day for the rest of their lives, and everybody else can only remember him. It really hit home, this is the third death in three years at my school and it makes you think.
Everybody please be safe, wear your seatbelts and don't drive crazy. Get your kick's on the track, not on the road. I am missing a friend because of some kids that think they are invincible. :whiner:
