Motorcyclist dies after crash near tunnel
Herald Staff Report
A man in his 20s was fatally injured when the motorcycle he was riding struck a light pole in Monterey and skidded for several yards, authorities reported.
He and another motorcyclist were heading north on Lighthouse Avenue near the tunnel around 7:30 p.m., police said. Both were riding near each other and were wearing helmets, police said.
The first rider was coming out of the tunnel when he lost control of his motorcycle, police said. The second rider also lost control of his motorcycle for an unknown reason.
Both men were taken to Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula. The first motorcyclist had severe head and neck trauma and died at the hospital, firefighters said. The second rider had a possible leg fracture, firefighters reported. Names and exact ages were not available late Tuesday.
A trauma helicopter had been called out to the Monterey Peninsula Airport to take one of the motorcyclists to a San Francisco Bay Area hospital but was called off moments after firefighters attempted to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation, firefighters said.
Traffic heading north in the tunnel was limited to one lane and traffic going south was diverted through downtown Monterey. Officers are continuing to investigate the cause of the accident.

One of the consequences of such notions as "entitlements" is that people who have contributed nothing to society feel that society owes them something, apparently just for being nice enough to grace us with their presence.”

My BAD. I thought you were talking about the health outcome (the important part of the article). My mistake.
I doubt they'll publish an article to announce a pothole or oil slick in the road...
