A Barksdale AFB Airman was in a one vehicle motorcycle accident late Monday evening. According to KSLA News 12, a motorist spotted the wrecked bike in the median of Interstate 220 about 11:30 Monday evening and reported it. Police searched the area, but didn't find anything suspicious. "The important to budget travel is to plan ahead. When it occurs to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved holidays and/or going to see new locations we have never been before, the reality of expense and budgeting is generally in the back of our thoughts. Preparation and consuming our travel budget correctly is a consideration for most families. Reducing consuming and expenses, while still enjoying your vacation to its fullest, is the key to certain success and fiscal responsibility. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The reasoning regarding economizing money while journeying is simple: Even if your personal funds is incredibly tight, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also remembering that while traveling, regardless of whether on a resources or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a huge vacation or travel costs!..". They even called area hospitals to inquire if there were a patient admitted that could possibly be a victim of a motorcycle accident. It wasn't until Tuesday morning, when police returned to the scene of the accident that they found the body of Airman Kyle Schunk nearly 1/4 mile away along an embankment in the median. The crash is under investigation, but speculation is that the Airman ran into the guardrail and was thrown from the motorcycle.
There seems to have been a rash of motorcycle accidents this riding season. Whether it is an increase of riders, a problem with awareness, rider education, rider inattention, rider inexperience, or some other factor, there are things all riders can do to increase their safety on the road. Some quick tips and reminders (not all inclusive) are listed below.
- Always wear a helmet and other protective gear including clear glasses at night
- Take a rider education class
- Don't ride when overly tired, ill, or intoxicated on drugs or alcohol
- Wear brightly colored clothing in the daytime and reflective clothing at night
- Maintain your motorcycle in top operating condition, and inspect it frequently
- Take extra caution at night as the risk increases
If you're a motorist (in a cage/car), please be aware that motorcycles are everywhere, especially during the warm, summer riding season, and are vulnerable because of their smaller size and lack of protection. Please watch for motorcyclists!
