    I hope the kid is okay, but I’m not surprised he is in the hospital. All too frequently I see motorcycle riders take unnecessary risks on the road. Because they are small and nimble a lot of them ride between vehicles and on the shoulder to get ahead of the other motorists. Most of them ride way too fast and make very sudden and tight lane changes. If this particular motorcyclist was going too fast, he got what he deserved. He is lucky he is still alive.

      agree..for whatever reason, motorcycle riders have gotten much more aggressive. They cause danger to themselves and others. Please slow down and follow the rules of the road!

    Because of this idiot, a 2011 Mitsubishi and a 2015 Corolla were damaged. I feel sorry for the owners of these vehicles. Now they have to deal with their insurance companies.
