He was riding a motorcycle, when a minivan struck him, killing both Benson and the driver.
You can read the article for yourself, but this subject is something that needs to be talked about more. While I won't get into specifics, I work in the motorcycle world, for a website that sells motorcycle parts and accessories. I have co-workers that ride, I have friends that ride. This story, while it's about Cedric Benson today, could just as easily have been about anyone else on a motorcycle. I am not going to go into a long speech about how drivers need to pay better attention, only that if you see a motorcycle on the road, try to keep an eye out for it. It's a lot smaller than your car, truck or SUV, A motorcyclist doesn't have a seatbelt. Just keep in mind they are at a greater risk to be seriously injured or killed in an accident than you are. Not all motorcyclists are stupid 20 year olds with no sense of mortality riding sport bikes that are way too fast for their own good. There are dads out riding their Harleys or Hondas out on the weekends too. Pay attention to motorcycles you are sharing the road with. Lives may depend on it.
