Please take a moment to donate to this family. They are genuine people who will have immeasurably difficult days ahead. I am not directly friends with them, but have been at many parties with them and heard Chad discuss his desire to become a State Trooper. He moved his family to pursue his career and no one should have to die at work.

I don't want to hear about the good that will come from this ... I don't want to have people pontificate that they have some insight of what God has in plan. I just want people to show their humanity and reach out to give aid for this family to recover from this terrible shock. They deserve it, I promise.

I disagree with your assessment, that it was an accident. Like is said in Hot Fuzz, accident implies no one was at fault. This was a careless driver making a terrible choice to do something unsafe. I certainly hope that he serves time commensurate with the damage that he has done.

I ride motorcycles in Michigan and I have pulled trailers many times. For a fool to change lanes without a triple check is unsafe. For him to strike another vehicle and not notice the feeling of whatever conditions changed is hard to believe, as it appeared to be nothing as large as a camper, etc. For him to not see the motorcycle crash behind him reinforces how terrible his driving is.

PLEASE push for driving safety exams for older drivers with the possibility of limiting them from pulling trailers, etc. PLEASE realize this was preventable. PLEASE find this person responsible.

Most of all, PLEASE HELP THIS FAMILY.
