Motorcyclist Killed Today - Disturbing and sad if true

[TwickenhamCyclist]

As I said, rather disturbing and sad if true

Just got sent this on fb, from someone I trust…

Please copy and paste out of respect to the biker who was killed this morning. knottingley lane was closed off this morning and only just found out why... After hearing the sad news today about the motorcyclist who lost his life travelling to work I can only feel nothing but pure hatred to the scum that is those in the Jet petrol station on Pontefract road who CHARGED for a blanket to cover the poor bloke, out of respect to that guys soul. Tell all your family an friends to boycott the Jet garage and lets put the disrespectful twats out of business!! RIP COLIN MILTON!

If its true, then it’s a sick old world we live in

Had something similar years ago – in the 90’s I witnessed a poor girl get crushed under a car in Preston – several people went to her aid, it didn’t look good though. It was before mobile phones so I ran to the nearest place open, which happened to be a restaurant. It was about 7pm, but the manager declined to ring an ambulance because he was too busy getting ready for the evening… luckily the pub manager a few more doors down wasn’t so selfish…

Horrible stuff. One of my earliest memories is of my dad and a few neighbours lifting a car off a young girl in our street. She survived, and bollards were put in to stop drivers using the street as a rat run.

Not sure about the blanket business, but someone has been arrested in that area following a fatal motorbike RTC: http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co....ngley_arrest_after_fatal_bike_smash_1_4183593
