So sad…only 19.
So sad! The winding roads and high speeds these things go don’t mix.
it feels like every day I see a motorcycle fatality posted on here :(
I saw two motorcyclist racing down Soledad yesterday evening! I wanted to beg them to slow down! This is very sad!
People don’t listen or care to slow down through there!
As a rider, I have to ask, what is a 19 year old doing on that road at that time of night? It’s terribly sad. I just wish people would respect the danger of riding.
unfortunatley they got the time wrong. It was pm. In the afternoon
Carlos was a good person and was as safe as.possible but he did take risks
Saman, the accident occurred in the afternoon. It was not a midnight accident. Prayers to the family and those involved. Thank you to all who assisted in the efforts of trying to save this young man prior to the arrival of LACO Fire and CHP.
As a rider I have to ask what difference does it make that he was 19 on the road at that hour. he was 19, not 9.
That’s so sad bless his young soul
