2005 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Two 19-year-old men driving Yamaha dirt bikes along a rural stretch of road at about 7 p.m., without using helmets or headlights, crashed head-on into each other. Nicholas J. Schmoltze and Conray G. Savoy were driving their stolen motorbikes toward each other along the double-yellow center line when they collided. Scholtze was pronounced dead and Savoy was flown to the Hospital in critical but stable condition. Casey Beavers, 18, a friend said "Oh my God, they were so much fun. Every time you saw them they made you smile." Yup! put a big smile on Darwin's face!

Hmmmm. One died and one seriously injured in the Washington Post article I dug out. Police basically refused to comment when asked if they were playing chicken, but it certainly sounds like it! I think this might be worth sending to the vote. :-)

I have to agree with Greg. At 19, one should be OVER "chicken" and amateur dirt bike hi-jinx. A perfect head-on collision and total disregard for safety equipment (no headlights??? No wonder!) put this incident above and beyond the usual run of motor vehicle mishaps. I'll vote DA as well...

I can't quite see my way to giving this one an unconditional nod. But I would have to agree -- the lack of helmets and the lack of lights certainly does make this a little out of the ordinary.
