USA - NEAR FREDERICK, MD- A bizarre crash leaves a Frederick County motorcycle driver dead, and police wondering why he was riding down Rt. 340 half-naked.
Shaun Matlock, 21, was only wearing a T-shirt and sneakers as he and six of his friends made their way past the Mount Zion Road exit on 340.One wrong move on his motorcycle cost him his life.
Stunt riding down a stretch of Rt. 340 turned deadly Sunday evening."He was actually just coming down from doing a wheelie and when he came down he lost control and veered to the right toward where the tow truck was loading another vehicle," said Tpr. David Ward, the investigating officer in the accident.
The motorcycle would end up under the tow truck, and Matlock wouldn't survive."It appeared from his injuries that he struck his stomach, or his abdomen area struck the tail, or the rear of the bed," said Ward.
Matlock's body is now with the medical examiner in Baltimore for an autopsy, which will include a toxicology screening.Before you write him off as another kid getting into trouble, listen to his friends.
"If he knew you for two minutes or two years he'd always treat you like a great friend.He was the kind of person who was always willing to go the extra mile to help you out even before he helped himself out," said Donnie Rough, a friend of Matlock.
"He was more than just a friend, he was a lifetime brother.It's just too hard right now," said Brenton Heller, also a friend of Matlock.Matlock's friends added the daredevil part of Matlock was only 10 percent of who he was; the other 90 percent of Matlock was a great person and a great friend.
Matlock's friends and family will gather for a candlelight vigil Monday night at 8:00 p.m. in the parking lot of Famous Dave's in Frederick.
