NOTE: Bumped for an update.
It’s sure sad to read about a story like this.
Be careful when you’re driving the Mother Road, folks.
UPDATE: Here’s an update on the story by the Bloomington (Ill.) Pantagraph.
The June 9 death of a German motorcyclist was avoidable, the jury said, because the driver failed to stop at a marked intersection.
Ralph Schwender, 50, was traveling south on Old Route 66 when he failed to stop for a semitrailer truck going east on U.S. 24. The inquest panel recommended additional markings to alert drivers of the upcoming stop sign.
No surprises, really.
