I believe light model is a small style pick up, say S-10 -ish.
I was wondering if anyone has any information on the condition of the motorcyclist? I have been checking back all day and NBC has not posted any follow up to this story. We are praying for him.
light model or late model? If it is a light model, what does that mean? Not clear on what we are looking for here. Please proof read before posting.
I sure hope the person that hit the motorcyclist and left him for dead… will turn themselves in. How careless of you not to stop and deal with this. You KNOW you hit him… and you know what… that is MY BROTHER laying in a hospital today FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE as his brother & sisters and MOM & Aunt & Uncle surround him PRAYING that he will survive this…while you are… wherever you are… Turn yourself in and OWN your mistake..
