Re:
Broc Brown motorcyclist who died yesterday in Westerly- articleIf possible, would you be able to print if he had a helmet on or not when the information is available? It helps readers see the connection between lifestyle and outcomes. I wondered myself as I read the short article. I realize it is a short time ago and maybe the reporter could not find out this information, but still maybe they could still report that they asked about it and that detail was not available. I imagine the information was on the police report. Thanks.
