someone could of been chasing him that cause him to turn before lincoln street, he wouldnt turn on lincoln street if going home,he would keep going straight on euclid, something or someone msut of made him turn his wheel to the left
No one was chasing him.....and he wasn't trying to turn either...he was trying to avoid hitting something in the road..on his way home. Richard is a dear friend of mine and i will always keep him in my heart. Only the good die young.
A hysterical young female stated at the scene that she was his girlfriend. She said that they had just gotten into an argument at a friends home. She said that he left there very upset.
The crash scene showed him to be traveling at a high rate of speed. By the skid marks, tire tracks, damage to property, and damage to the vehicle, Mr. Colon was traveling well past 25 MPH when he went left into the first curb.
If he was even close to 25 MPH and swerved to avoid something in the road, he would not have rolled over, flipped out of the vehicle, and ended up being crushed by his own car.
This was a very unfortunate event in which reckless driving cost a young man his life.
He was a very sweet guy and will always be missed..He just made a mistake that night.
