I think someone was misinformed and I wanted to set the story straight. Link to article:

Tampabays10.com | Tampa Bay's Online News Leader | "Habitual traffic offender" causes fatal crash

Well, I heard about this last night because my BFF (EMT/Firefighter going to school for paramedic) was doing a ride-along with Tampa Fire Rescue and responded to this call. He basically said the same information as the article, except he said it was a cruiser of some sort, and he went into detail about the crash and his attempts to save him. He said that the Mercedes pulled out in front of the cruiser and they basically hit head on. The biker was ejected into the air, where his helmet flew off. He then hit the ground and so on.


If you want more details, read on, but with caution...

**GORE**
When paramedics (including my friend) got to the scene, they knew it was bad and he really didn't have a chance. He apparently had no pulse and was in [some other medical term where his body wasn't providing any electrical signal or something like that...] and had at least 3 fractured ribs, fractured skull, with brains leaking, and other compound and complex fractures on his appendages. They (mainly my friend) began CPR and attempted to resuscitate him anyways. Every time they gave him a breath, brain matter/blood came out of his head. He was pronounced dead on the scene or whatever else they call it.
**/GORE**

Then the family came... My friend said it was a million times worse seeing the family have to see the rider in the state that he was in then knowing he couldn't do anything for him.




This stuff is ridiculous and needs to be stopped. I don't understand why "an habitual traffic offender who was driving without a license" was even on the road to begin with. Then even after police charged Agosto with driving while license suspended involving death, and Violation of Right-Of-Way, this "habitual traffic offender who was driving without a license" is left to roam the street again! WTF?!?!? Why is nothing done about this kind of stuff? How many times must a person fuck up for people to change a law or just kick this guys ass? (I do not actually condone kicking his ass...) Between this kind of stuff and the increasing amount of old people really grind my gears.
