That is so sad.

It should read auto accident because it did not happen from a irresponsible dirt track maneuver from what I gather ... very unfortunate situation and my thoughts go out to his family

I know its crazy. Sounds like he was riding a dirt bike on the street with no lights, while wearing dark clothes, and was hit head on by a car traveling the opposite direction. Sad.

I'm sorry, and you can call me a jackass, but this seems a little bit more worthy of a Darwin award than sympathy.

No helmet, no headlights, driving after dark? That is just stupid.

In all dark clothing and running a stop sign :/

You've never done anything stupid? I read the details and thought, "There but for the grace of God...." because I've done plenty of stupid stuff. It's been my experience that most people have.

Especially at 23

I've done plenty of stupid things. But not to the extent that it would potentially harm my physical life or the lives of others.

On a dirt bike with knobby tires on pavement.

Sad, RIP.

I agree. Sad, but completely avoidable. I thought pro sports teams had clauses against athletes riding dirt bikes, etc. due to the danger involved.

...

Looked it up:

Section 3 of the NFL's standard player contract stipulates, in part, that a "player will not engage in … any activity other than football which may involve a significant risk of personal injury. … Player therefore agrees that club will have the right … to enjoin the player from engaging in any activity other than football which may involve a significant risk of injury."

Remember Kellen Winslow II hitting a curb at 35 MPH on a motorcycle...?

Player's contract forbids riding a motorcycle
