when there is a tragedy like this people have a tendancy to analize, opinionate, judge and speculate not knowing the full facts,forgetting that this is someones loved one they are grieving for please remember that and just pray for them in their loss

To Ashland... your wondering is only causing heartache for the family...could he have had a seizure?? That would be one reason for the excessive speed. The freak thing is that you would be so morbid.

I did not know Chris, but knew his sister and brother. Prayers to all family and friends. God will get you through this trying time.

Terrible to see this happen. Just a quick question. How did this happen? Was he intentionally hurting himself? Was he impaired? The reason for asking is that there would be no other reason to be going so fast at that point. There is no road back there. Very freak thing that has made me wonder.

My husband knew Chris. Our prayers are with the family. Two automobile accidents of friends in Ashland and now another one in the past two weeks. First the Leadingham's of whom my son and nephew was friend's with their son CJ, then Brandi and Jason who my sister went to school with, and now Chris. This is just too much. Please pray for all of these families to get through this horrible time.
