At 1:00 a.m. Saturday morning, 21-year-old Alexander M. Savage died after losing control of his motorcycle at the intersection of Highway 501 and Broadway Street in Myrtle Beach.

Horry County Police Public Information Officer Sgt. Robert Kegler says Savage left the scene of the accident earlier in the night.

Police later pulled him over, but Savage stopped on a bridge.

Kegler goes on to say the officer allowed him to move to a safer place but Savage did not stop again and fled.

That chase resulted in the accident.

Savage is one of five people who died on the road Saturday night.

I have nothing good to say about this. Possibly causing an accident and running from the cops. His actions speak for themselves.

There is much more to the story than what is presented.

Yes, he was totally wrong and in no way are his actions justified.

But he was a 3x combat vet with a slew of PTSD problems and has been getting worse rather than better lately.

I can honestly say I've never ridden without a helmet. Never saw the point.

RIP though, shitty way to go
