[USMCHorn 1369]

Damn Ced. He for sure lived in that area. I used work on 2222 and Ced would come in all the time. Was always nice as hell. 

[Chopper 17429]

Damn, this news really sucks. Dude was a helluva RB and overcame so many challenges in his life to be one of the greats. Fuck 2222. Shit road with shit drivers. 

[Tailgate 3054]

Way too young. Thoughts and prayers his family and friends. 

He was a great one in burnt orange.

[Steamboat1874 4282]

Really sad.

[bmbmd 1040]

Heartbreaking. 

[MirrOlure 15185]

Damn....

F motorcycles

[Art Vandelay 1712]

Dammit. Really sad if true.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[JesusSweatDuck 18045]

Sounds like he had a female passenger that died at the scene. Praying for their families

[LebongJames 1900]

Terrible news if true

[TwiceHorn 31987]

Oh man  RIP to anyone involved.

[Sock Drawer 214]

If true, Google doesn't know it yet.

[hornian 5281]

Damn. I stopped driving that way to/from downtown from NW Austin because I was convinced I was goin to get killed by some shitty driver in 2222, and I drive a full size crew cab pickup. Can’t imagine the carnage from a car at speed hitting a motorcycle turning onto 2222 from Mt. Bonnell Road.

That KXAN article has been updated, no names but, “Police say a mini-van was trying to cross the intersection when it ran into a motorcycle. Both riders of the motorcycle, a man and woman, were pronounced dead at the scene.”

🤘😢

[Tailgate 3054]

They are posting screen shots of his brothers Facebook post on the OB board...so sad...

When I was in my teens I had to drive that road to practice every day. I was almost killed one night by someone driving on the wrong side of the road on the curvy section going down towards county line. Probably one of the more dangerous stretches of road in Austin.

[Lerka Lerka 1095]

Terrible news. I lost a friend on that stretch of road 25 years ago. Have avoided using it since. RIP Longhorn legend. 

[Mitch Cumsteen 18913]

Well... This is awful. So young. So sad. RIP. 

[LonghornSean 4072]

Shit, no.  I'll never forget watching him in the state championship game against Westlake at DKR.  Dude was such a beast then and lived up to it in college.

Saw him eating at TCP a month or two ago. RIP Ced
