It happens a lot. People don't see people on motorcycles, or for that matter bicycles. My deepest condolences.

Things like this make you realize how trivial many of the inane arguments that is going on in this country.
Sad to see I remember him in college football he was a great running back..I hope he knew Jesus eternity is a long time to be somewhere. Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again. John 3
Sad news...
Damn. Such a waste. I remember watching this talented young man come unto his own as a Texas Longhorns. Ran like the wind. Did well by the Bears too. Condolences to family,friends,and fans. RIP Cedric the Football Player.
He also racked up numerous felonies.
