Title: Two more idiots to add to the record book! Post by: weekendwarrior1 on February 21, 2005, 04:38:44 PM SARASOTA COUNTY -- A man remained in critical condition Monday after being injured in an ATV crash Sunday afternoon.
Dustin Dawn, 21, was thrown from his ATV when he collided with an ATV driven by 20-year-old Gregory Klein, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. The crash occurred on 10th Street near Fruitville Park. Dawn was flown by helicopter to Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petersburg, where he remained in critical condition on Monday afternoon. Klein was taken to Doctors Hospital of Sarasota, where he was treated for minor injuries. The FHP has charged Klein with operating an ATV on the roadway. No charges have been filed against Dawn. Jamie Brennan, who lives in the neighborhood and saw the accident happen, said ATVs, motorcycles and scooters frequently race down 10th Street on weekend afternoons. She said neighbors have complained to the authorities and have asked for speed bumps on the street. Brennan was riding a bicycle Sunday afternoon with her husband and 20-month-old daughter when she witnessed the accident. She said neither driver wore a helmet. "When I saw them (Sunday) they didn't seem like they were racing, but right after they passed us they sped up," Brennan said. "I feel so bad for them, but it's frustrating because they are endangering everybody out there," she said. Title: Re: Two more idiots to add to the record book!

Man, every time one person gets hurt on these things somebody goes crying to the cops that their atv hurt them. Then this just adds fuel to the fire. I'm sorry the atv is a machine and won't do anything you don't tell it to and when you bought it you should have know where and how to ride it. I wish these people would either not get these things or learn how to use them! [smiley=banghead.gif] [smiley=angry2.gif] Title: Re: Two more idiots to add to the record book!

Title: Re: Two more idiots to add to the record book! Post by: weekendwarrior1 on February 22, 2005, 12:06:27 PM Could you imagine how much crap this kid would have stirred up if he had hit the woman and 20 month old baby on the bicycle!!
On the other hand, If the local government would stop closing down all the riding spots maybe this wouldn't happen so much. I live in Sarasota County and now that North Port is closed again I've got a two hour drive in either direction to ride my $6000 paper weight. Title: Re: Two more idiots to add to the record book!
