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
