So sad, my prayers are with his family and friends

Thank you never again 8. I appreciate you letting me know. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

I seen the wreck after it happened. It is something I will never forget. To see a white sheet over what once a live human being, to a lifeless body laying there. To know that is someones child,father left there is AWFUL. My herat goes out two the family. What comes around goes around. The driver will get what they deserve.

the young man is Dan Thielmann.

The driver should never be allowed to drive a car for the rest of her life. I ride, and I avoid idiots at the rate of two a minute. It is becoming more dangerous. Assume NO ONE see's you. Always cover up. Riders know what that means. Used to be I covered up at intersections, but now I have learned to ride covered up top and bottom at all times.

never again 8 and peaches 98: Would you mind telling us who it is? I grew up in Bright and knew/still know a ton of people in Sunman and Dillsboro.

My heart goes out to the family of the victim. I know his mother and father lost their only child yesterday, and his three children lost their father because of someone being irresponsible! This just breaks my heart! The family is wonderful and you will be in my prayers!

I know the mother of this man who was killed, she did know before the story came out. My heart goes out to this wonderful family ! To lose your only child is something I pray I never have to know. I love you and pray every moment for you and your family.

feh42, you're absolutely right! And I might add, "Outstanding Warrants" too. Desperate people determined they are not going back to jail will run from just about anything. This is terrible and I sure hope they find the missing driver. Not much to go on, there are alot of vehicles fitting that description, especially with all the deer hit around here. Seems like every 3rd or 4th car you see on the road has front end damage.

As a motorcycle rider myself I hate reading these stories ! I hope they find the driver of the car that fled
