J.R. Scott loved adventure sports and had been riding motorbikes since his father introduced him to one when he was five. He was a motocross enthusiast and had won the 20006 California Motorcycle Club championships. Last Sunday, 16 year old J.R. died from injuries received not on his latest dare devil adventure, but as the result of being hit by a car in a hit and run accident that has left his family devastated.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the Antioch High School teenager was on his new Honda scooter - a Thanksgiving gift from his Dad - and was riding with his friend who was on a bicycle. They were at an intersection not far from his home when a white car hit his scooter. The car sped away without bothering to check on the teenager. J.R. was rushed to John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek. He died on Sunday. His family has decided to donate his organs.

The car hasn't been identified yet, but police are looking out for a 2000 Toyota Avalon, possibly with smashed headlights.

Very often motorcyclists who suffer injuries or death in an accident are at the receiving end of the careless or reckless driving of other drivers on the road.
