Sorry to hear about that. Hope the driver gets what he deserves. You never know who you're sharing the road with.

Helmet? For fricks sake, some guy runs a red no freaking helmet designed to protect you from a fall is going to help you. Im a helmet wearer, but geezus, give it a break.

Killed by a driver with no control, conscience or character... This was a tragedy in every dimension.
My condolences to her family and all who knew her.

He hid in a shed. What a coward. Hope this guy get's what he deserved. At least they caught him for it, not that it makes this any better. Horrible thing to hear.
My condolences to her family and friends as well.

I'm not sure how drunk drivers are treated down there, however odds are if this happened up here in Canada he would get house arrest, lose his license for a month then be out driving again.
