Atrocious! 11 yr old child killed on bicycle. No charges filed against motorist.

Death is the consequence-free price cyclist pay for not following the law.

Yet another case where the motorist faces no consequence for KILLING a person.

The child was not wearing a helmet. He was riding on neighborhood streets.

I am waiting on the police report for Jack Hartleys death. The motorist was not charged for killing him. He was riding a bike with no lights or reflectors at night on a well lit street. See Bikejax post here: http://www.bikejax.org/2009/04/chastity-rettinger-jack-hartly-ghost.html

11-year-old Killed In Bicycle Accident

BRIDGEVILLE, Del. (AP) ― Delaware State Police say an 11-year-old boy has been killed when he was riding a bicycle and was struck by a pickup truck near Bridgeville.

It happened about 12:40 p.m. Wednesday. Troopers say Trevor Kuntzi of Georgetown was riding his bicycle east on a private drive when he entered the northbound lanes of Wilson Hill Road.

Kuntzi was hit by a pickup truck operated by 44-year-old Charles Quillen of Georgetown.

Kuntzi, who was not wearing a safety helmet, was pronounced dead at the scene from blunt force trauma.

Quillen was taken to a local hospital where he was treated for contusions and lacerations. He was wearing a seat belt.

Troopers are still investigating the accident, but do not expect to file charges against Quillen.
