Tough times for motorcyclists in Tennessee
The last week was horrendous for motorcycle riders in Tennessee.
On May 8th, we lost Trooper Andy Wall, 36, who was escorting the Blue Angels flight team on duty on his motorcycle.
The same day Adrian Books, 33, crashed riding the Dragon in East Tennessee and was airlifted out. We hope he will recover.
The same day Kenneth Phillips, 52, died in Murfreesboro when he lost control and ran into a tree.
On May 9th Donald McWain Jr., 33, died in a Clarksville crash when he lost control.
Then on May 10th in Crossville, a father and daughter were killed. The father Brian Ewing, 45, lost control. He and his passenger, Katrina Ewing, 16, and a cheerleader at Cumberland County High School perished.
Please keep all of these people in your thoughts and prayers.
If you ride a bike, be extra careful. If you don't watch out for bikes, motorized or otherwise. As the weather warms, more folks will be out and we want them to enjoy long and fruitful lives.
