I was so upset when I heard the newsbreak about the motorcyclist who was killed. It was right before you took a commercial break. My son had just bought a motercycle yesterday and was on headed to rent a movie on White Lane the last time I spoke to him. My heart fell and I went into panic mode. Of course he couldnt answer his phone so that I could just hear his voice to know he was alright and I began to cry and panic. When the news came back from commercial I had to wait until you did the update on the election before you went back to the story that set me into a frenzy. Please understand there are moms out here who panic when a story like this breaks. It may be considerate on your part to go directly back where you left off. My son made it to his destination and called me before you went back to the story. Please be considerate when announcing these tragedies. I feel so sorry for the family that did lose their loved one.

probably would have helped if the girl didn't run a red light. Out of curiosity was she on her cell phone when she ran the red & killed a biker?
