The bike rider was killed and
The bike rider was killed and another rider seriously injured. These riders were on a good will journey "Bike and Build". I do not understand why I cannot get a follow up on this accident. Is this being considered a "biker" accident with the car driver not receiving a citation. Bikers do have a "right of way". Or are bikers unimportant in Idaho. I would like some follow up info!!
