Motorcycle accident on I-75

I was reminded of the risks of riding a motorcycle yesterday, when I heard about an accident close to home, on the local news. The motorcyclist was riding on I-75, (between Mitchell Avenue and the Norwood Lateral) when he hit a piece of tire on the road, was thrown off the bike and run over by a semi. He was taken to University Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries. No information is available on whether he was wearing a helmet.
