'dude, It's obvious that KSAL doesn't even look at their website. Otherwise, their pictures & graphics would be displayed with the correct aspect ratio.

they don't have stop signs in Mexico where this guy is from. Probably just got done dropping off a truck load of illegals.

If you want to leave a message for the Mexican driving the truck you have to leave it in Spanish.

The motorcycle was headed east and the truck left the stop sign and drove into the side of the motorcycle.

I heard from a guy that was at the scene, the driver in the truck DID NOT EVEN BOTHER TO GET OUT AND TRY TO HELP THE POOR GUY HE MOWED DOWN!!! THE MOTORCYCLE WAS ON TOP OF HIM----ON FIRE--AND THIS MORON SITS IN HIS TRUCK A WATCHES THIS POOR GUY BURNING UP!!!! Mexican or otherwise, how inhumane can you be!!?? Sit by and watch a poor injured person on fire and not try to help!!!! Makes me sick, I'd like to light a match to his a$$ and let him burn for awhile!!! I will be watching this one, better be some criminal charges forthcoming on this incident!!! Or will this be like the incident in the rest area, the truck driver that slammed into the motorhome, we never heard anymore about THAT either!!

lAW ENFORCEMENT and our COUNTY ATTORNEY has a way of coverung things up. Besides what granny mentioned how about the guy that was killed on crawford by the old lady making a u turn. I think the state ought to be investigating all of this because there is definately some mis-conduct occurring. Then again law enforce has the local news media in their back pocket. Evidently they have something on the Salina Journal as they censor themselves and offer no investigated reporting.

R.I.P young man!! I'm so sorry for this tragic and senseless loss of a young life. Too bad the idiot in the truck could not be bothered to pay attention to his driving, let alone get out of his truck and help the poor young man!!! Mr. Accosta-Corrales, I hope this incident haunts you every day of your life!!!
