**You might have heard about the horrible crash involving a couple of motorcycles on the 101 last weekend. There have been far too many reports of motorcycle accidents lately. Please ride safe. Apparently a woman high on 10 drugs was going Westbound in the Eastbound HOV lane of the 101 and collided with a couple of motorcycles killing one of the riders. His name is Scott Benson. He was the father of 2 young boys who are still trying to come to grips with what has happened to their father. Scott had just started a new job and insurance didn’t kick in until September 1st. Click Here for the TV3 report on this accident. https://www.azcentral.com/community/phoenix/articles/20120828woman-arrested-fatal-accident-involving-motorcyclist.html

Family & Friends of Scott Benson have established a donation account to help pay for funeral costs for a loving father and a great friend who passed away this weekend. To anyone who can contribute, please visit any local Wells Fargo branch to make a donation. Thank you for your support and prayers.

Don, do you know if there is either a Paypal or mailing address that folks can send in a donation that way? So sad...

https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/azcentral/obituary.aspx?n=scott-allen-benson&pid=159526621&fhid=6715#fbLoggedOut Obituary of Scott Allen Benson. Watched the Murdering A-Hole on TV last night at her arraignment complaining to the Judge her bail was set way too high, she tested positive for ten assorted drugs in her system at the time she mowed down the motorcyclists going the wrong way on the freeway!

"Court documents show that Carol Ann Sacca, 59, said she took morphine, Soma, Doxepin, Trazodone, Protonix, Singuliar, Amitiza, Lasix, Spironolactone and Cyproheptadine."

This one is just really unbelievable, this one really gets to me.

Basically, as motorcyclists, what can you possibly do if someone is going the wrong way, especially in the HOV lane? I mean if you're coming around a corner and you don't see them with any notice at all, and they're speeding towards you at 70 as you speed towards them?

Not knowing exactly where it happened (for me), there's no telling that maybe the rider could have reacted but didn't. But it's easy to see where he *may* not have had any time...

None the Less... My feeling, honestly and bluntly, Give this woman 2 days, to live, then put her against a wall, call out the firing squad and blow her brains out. Why on Gods Green Earth should we waste tax payer money on Court Costs? Jail time? or anything else?

Shoot the ****** immediately, aim for the head. If her excuse is "I made a mistake"... the answer is "We're gonna make sure you don't do it again..."

+1, Gunny; my feelings exactly azitlies, being Irish I would start with her kneecaps and work up to the head shot!

Thank you, Don... it won't ease the pain of their loss but I hope it gives them strength to know that they are not alone and many care, whether they know them or not.
