Waco Motorcycle Accident Kills Driver and Spares Passenger

A motorcycle ride turned fatal Monday night in Waco, Texas when a man was killed after he and a passenger hit a curb and flew from their bike.

22-year-old driver Christopher Lee Gault was pronounced dead at the scene and his 23-year-old passenger Katharine Sadler was taken to Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center. According to police, Gault was speeding and failed to stop at the four-way stop at Airport Road and Steinbeck Bend. Neither rider was wearing a helmet.

It is so distressing to hear of motorcycle fatalities in which the victim was not wearing a helmet. Would a helmet have saved this man’s life? It’s impossible to say, but helmets certainly save countless lives in accidents every day.
