Motorcycle Crash Takes The Life of Odessa Pastor
A motorcycle accident claimed the life of Odessa pastor, Michael Robert Graham, this past Monday.
Graham was driving south on State Highway 17 near Fort Davis when he lost control on sharp curve and was ejected from his bike, a 2008 Suzuki Boulevard.
The accident occurred just after 1 p.m. Graham was pronounced dead at the scene. According to the Texas Department of Public Safety Graham was not wearing a helmet.
Graham is the second victim this week that I have blogged about who was biking without wearing a helmet. Helmets can save lives. Statistics show that riders wearing a helmet significantly reduce their odds of dying in a crash. Make you sure you are wearing a proper helmet. Here are some guidelines that will help you figure out if your helmet is in accordance with proper safety standards.
Our sincere condolences go out the family, friends, and congregation of Pastor Michael Robert Graham. Hopefully others will take this tragedy as a learning experience and begin to wear helmets.
