ATV driver killed in Fayette County is identified
Monday, March 23, 2009
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
An ATV driver killed last night in a collision with a motorcycle in Fayette County has been identified by the coroner's office.
Anthony Nicklow, 20, suffered fatal skull fractures in the collision that occurred after 11 p.m. along Coolspring-Jumonville Road in North Union.


The number of ATV riders that are killed every year is surprising. Why anyone would ride these things without a helmet is beyond me. And on public roads? I've seen kids screaming by on more than one occasion on these things, going too fast for a car to be going even. Must be a common thing.

I used to have one, they aren't like a car. When you cut the wheels too fast, you don't slide like a car, it digs and you flip. These are not toys.

Of course, it surprises me that people choose to ride motorcycles among the crazy public on public roads too. I hear of a lot of deaths there too.

I guess that's the good thing about living in a free country, you can do things like this if you want to. Hell, as long as it's not affecting my life, more power to them. I just don't understand it.
