Sorry to hear this, it’s especially hard with someone you know. Hope he pulls thru.
Had a local killed 2 weeks ago on a road I’ve ridden dozens of times and is used by hundreds of cyclists on the weekends. Didn’t know him, but could have been me in that place and that time.
They need to to throw the book at people who kill others and drive away. The cops and DA’s all too often just don’t go after people as hard as they can. No plea deals, make them do a jury trial.
