  • Fatality on the way to the Dogwood rally

    A rider from the Mobile area was killed Friday around 4 P.M. on highway 504 near Newton, Ms. He and several other riders were on their way to the Dogwood Trail Rally in Decatur, Ms. Best info is that he went wide in a turn and struck a school bus. This was not very far from the rally site. Don't know his name but please keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

          I spoke with David Lawrenze in Mobile this afternoon. He did not know about this and is quite sure it was not one of the Oasis group riders. So....I still have no name...

            The little bit else that I found out is that I believe he was an attorney and had only been riding motorcycles for about six months. He was riding with two other riders and they were to meet at least two other friends that were already at the rally.

                Information I got at the rally was that he was on a borrowed bike - also that he had only been riding for about 6 months. There were a couple of men from Mobile already at the rally waiting for these 3 men. One of the men that was riding with him stayed at the rally - the wife of the other man picked him up - he did not want to ride. It is a very tragic thing. I don't think any of the kids saw what happened or the after effects. Thank God for that.
