Wednesday, October 25, 2006 -  UMass Student Dies After Helping Fellow EMTs

Here's a nice article on Brad Skikne, the UMass undergrad who died in a crash on Amherst Road shortly after helping EMTs at the scene of another accident. It sounds from reports by friends that he was quite the remarkable person, selfless and giving. It's a horrible shame.

Amherst Road, which connects downtown Amherst with Route 202 in Pelham, is notoriously dangerous. For a windy, hilly road, it has a high speed limit, no shoulder, little room to pass, and a lot of areas with poor visibility. We've witnessed many close calls with cars, bicyclists, roadside objects like rocks and trees, and even a moose on that road. Our sympathies go out to Brad's family and friends.
