His passing has left an immeasurable void in the lives of everyone who knew and loved him, and the heartbreak surrounding this tragedy is being felt throughout the community.
According to the Hammond Police Department, officers responded at approximately 6:45 p.m. to a serious motorcycle crash on West Thomas Street near the Chanell Shopping Center. The collision resulted in the loss of two individuals who were riding the motorcycle. Despite the rapid response of emergency personnel, both riders succumbed to their injuries at the scene.
Investigators reported that the motorcycle was attempting to pass another vehicle when it entered the intersection at a high rate of speed and collided with another vehicle. The impact caused both riders to be ejected from the motorcycle, landing outside the roadway, while the motorcycle came to rest in a nearby grassy area. The driver of the other vehicle was not injured. Authorities also indicated that impairment is not believed to have been a contributing factor, though standard toxicology testing is being conducted as part of the ongoing investigation.
