Its been some time back where there was a young man...(was turning his life around)....who was going back home...I believe on a motorcycle on Carmel Road in the early morning....and was hit and killed by a "hit and run" driver in possibly a white vehicle. Has anyone heard anything about this situation....and if the driver has ever been found?

The story you are talking about:

Moped driver killed in hit-and-run | WCNC.com | Charlotte News, Weather, Traffic, and Sports | WCNC.com | News for Charlotte, NC

This was near Johnston Drive in the AM. Reports were that the man was run over by a motorist after having a crash, possibly involving a different motorist. Later reports speculated that the motorist who ran over the man's body may not have realized he/she had done so. I have never heard whether the case was solved.

Yesterday's story re: another man killed in a bike/car accident, in Monroe:

Nope. Although the size of the memorial has lessened somewhat. I doubt they'll ever find out who did it.

Thank you for the input....perhaps others may know something more. You would think that at the time of night that it was done, the person was possibly drunk, and didn't remember it. Surely, there had to be some proof on their vehicle that something may have happened. I wonder if car/truck body repair companies ever really believe some of the excuses that people give them....and still have questions after they have been repaired. I wonder if someone puts in a claim to have their car/truck repaired because of an incident....would the claims inspector come and inspect the car/truck...or just believe what they heard, and have the car/truck repaired? You would think that a neighbor would question damage on another neighbors vehicle....what I am saying is....someone must know something....or at least have questions in their minds...about something they may have seen.
If the person was possibly drag racing with another car....then there has to be more than one person who knows about this tragic accident. That stretch of road seems to be an ideal place for drag racing.
Anymore input would be welcomed.
