The Spectrum reported on Saturday October 18, 2008 a motorcycle rider crashed and died while traveling north of the Cedar Pocket exit.  The motorcycle was severely damaged and the motorcyclist was dead when officers arrived.

I post this article becasue the insensitivity of reporting this newspaper article without stating the name of the dead bikeris insensitive.  They would probably respond that they did not know the name of the biker and that next-of-kin were being notified before releasing the name.  If that is the case then report it.  Why?  Because many people who bike have friends that bike and they oftentimes cannot stop but think that this might have been one of their friends.  Is the story so important that it cannot wait half a day - hardly - shame of The Spectrum!
