Teen motorcyclist dies

Serious crash shuts down Oxford St.
"An 18-year-old motorcyclist who crashed earlier this week has died, London police say. Travis Cooper, 18, of Windsor, was to start classes this week at Fanshawe College, the Windsor Star reported. Witnesses told police he had been racing and weaving through traffic on Oxford Street when his Kawasaki motorcycle struck a turning car at Cherryhill Blvd.
While the 18-year-old was wearing a helmet, he suffered critical head injuries.
Cooper's death is the second this month of a motorcyclist on London roads. A 76-year-old man died days after his motorcycle struck the back of a stopped car on Highbury Ave. Sept. 1. "
Just another sad example. FYI, the Kawasaki motorcycle the 18 year old was riding? You guessed it, a 250 Ninja. :'(
