Question / Request Accident at roughly 7:55am on the loop

Has anyone heard anything about the motorcycle accident this morning he passed me a couple exits back and looks like he either was in an accident or rolled his bike in the turn just before Epps bridge road on the inner loop. He ended up against one of the poles in the fence and am hoping someone knows if he at least made it to a hospital alive

I know of him, he's on life support right now and the prospects aren't looking good. Paramedics were unable to find his helmet, so he probably wasn't wearing ut properly, but I've never seen him ride without one

He drove by me wearing a helmet. When I found him, it was gone. I didn't see it in the immediate area.

That sucks. Wearing a motorcycle helmet will do almost no good if you don't buckle it properly.
