Fatal Motorcycle Accident In National City

[alvin636]

I just got a quick glimpse of a news story on KUSI news, there was a fatal motorcycle accident in national city, involving a black dodge ram on euclid and 14th st. I couldnt make out what kind of bike it was, cause it was pretty messed up. Anyone have any info on the accident. CONDOLENCES go out to this mans family. Rest In Peace. :cry:

[Termin8r]

Now we wait to see who it is. I hope it's no one we know. RIP.

[deathblow]

I knew him. That's all I'll say. May he rest in peace. My prayers are for his girlfriend right now, who is in critical condition.

RIP, seen it on the news last night. The bike T-boned a Dodge Truck pretty hard... Pretty Sad. For those of you who Knew Rommel i send you My Condolences.. Hearing and seeing things like this is what keeps me off the streets and looking forward to Track days. For all those who ride the mean streets... Please Ride Safe!!!!

[R1nation]

He and his girlfriend were on their way to get gas on his bike. They were the last one out of the pack of riders and on his way to the gas station, a guy in a RAM pick up truck was driving on the opposite side trying to make a left turn and turned right in front of Rom. It was too late for Rom to stop and he ran into the truck on the right side of it and sent Trish flying over the truck. He got up, looked at his girl, and then collapsed. He died right there from internal bleeding..

May he R.I.P. And his girlfriend pull through. My condolences to his family and friends...

[Marcus257]

Damn rode with Romel and his girl a couple times. Pretty crazy to realize i just saw him at MM bike night thursday. May he RIP

[rossifumi]

Its just not right. I actually passed the site today with my nephew in the car. As I passed it, it reminded me of my family and I mourning at my brothers accident site. I didn't even know what happened. It just triggered that same emotion. Then i come home and read this only to find out that it was someone I knew. Some who I remember sympathizing with me about my brother's accident. He was a good guy and I got nothing but good vibes from him. This irony is so so heartbreaking for me. i just visited my brother's grave for the one year anniversary of his accident, bring his son back to Cali with us for vacation and we both see this scene on the side of the road. The healing process is going to take that much longer. Were losing all the good ones.
I hope my brother greets him in heaven, I think they would get along.
May he rest in peace.

Lets just pray for his family and girlfriend, they need our blessing and the hopes that they will one day find closure in this.

for me, i'm still hoping for that day to come.

I knew him too...way back when we used to live in Linda Vista. We're having a bike night at the site on thursday. If you'd like to stop by you're more than welcome. We're also collecting donations for the family. If you feel moved to give it will be very much appreciated.

Thanks.

what time is it jhun? is there gonna be some sort of memorial ride for rommel this weekend?

[JNebril]

I'd say around 7 or 7:30. Not sure if there's going to be memorial ride this weekend. I'll post up the details if there is.

[druskizee]

where is the crash site exactly? thinkin about rolling out there

[JNebril]

corner of euclid avenue and grove st.

[daMartian]

i'll most likely stop by...

[sdnative13]

guys what do you think about this idea. I've been pondering it for a while now. We'd have to wait till we got more info on the services and everything but my thought was for someone to get shirts made in his honor (of course we'd pay u back for them) then have every1 meet up some where, put the shirts on on the jackets and try to get the largest group possible to mob up to his services. to have a group memorial ride in his honor. also i think the fam would really like seeing all of the support we have for him and his family. depending on where the service and actual burial site is i think it would be cool to have as many bikes as possible escorting rommel from one place to the other. just my 2 cents. pls respond and let me know how everyone feels about this

Not sure if family would react positively to seeing guys on bikes after their son was killed on one. It would be cool for Rommel, but you have to keep in mind the possibility that the family attributes the loss of their son to motorcycles. If this does happen, get the family's buy off first to make sure. T-shirts would take too long to organize and distribute. Now you have 4 cents.

[gueralinda]

MY HEART AND RESPECT GOES OUT TO HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS. BELIEVE ME I KNOW THE FEELING AND I NEVER IN MY ENTIRE LIFE WOULD I EVER WISH THAT TO ANYONE. ITS THE WORST FEELING INSIDE TO FEEL. REST IN PEACE AND RIDE WITH PRIDE WHEVEVER YO MAY BE BRO!!!!!

Props goes out to Jhun for keeping everyone on the loop and trying to get everyone out this Sunday.. :bowdown:

[alvin636]

[peto]

please post up what time. i didn't know rommel but i'd still like to show support

[justjay619]

sunday im there...let me know where and what time.

+1, oh and I was just talking to Liza Amor and she said that the family is cool with everybody riding on friday to the funeral because bikes are something that rommel loved.
quote from a belletin that Liza Amor put up on Myspace:

The Reyes family is okay with the homies riding to the funeral on Friday. They said that it was something that Rommel LOVED to do so all the homies will be riding on Friday. If you want the sticker decal on your windscreen, let me know so that I can get them to you by tomorrow (the viewing).

We will also have a Sunday ride in dedication of Rommel and then a bbq. I will give you more info on that as soon as I get it. Thanks everyone...
