How do you rear end someone up near exit 26? Was it raining up there at that point or was horseplay involved? ---

Below comment not specific regarding this incident. * * * Obviously not all accidents are avoidable, but I would say most can and especially the type that is self induced. If you ride like you are invincible and dress like you are indestructable when you ride, then you’ve made an active choice to expose yourself to additional risk ON TOP of the risk of riding alone. Good luck this season. ---
