A man was transported from the scene without a pulse after being thrown from his motorcycle in an accident at the Hwy 10 - Hwy 52 intersection Tuesday morning. The Harley motorcycle, driven by Matthew “Brett” Minchey, 40, was headed South on Hwy 10 through the intersection when it collided with a blue Chevy sedan. The Chevy, driven by 19-year-old Danielle Jackson, was headed East on Hwy 52 and failed to stop at the stop sign, according to Corp. Jeff Hix of the Lafayette Police Department.

“I was sitting at the stop sign,” said witness Efrain Rosales, “I was waiting for him to go through, and these people came and ran the stop sign; they just ran right through it… I checked for a pulse. He had no pulse.”

Minchey was transported to Macon County General Hospital and pronounced dead on arrival, said Hix.

this is such a senseless thing to happen,for one the person running the stop should really get in trouble and for another the city of lafayette is big enough they should put red lights all the way down that street including at walmarts entrance.why with all this traffic especially at certain times of the day is so crowded can they not see the need for red lights,maybe they will when someone hits them or thier children.

Today i find out that the young driver of the peice of junk that ran over Brett was actually chasing someone who bumped her car at Mcdonalds. That is just pathetic and i hope she is charged with vehicular homicide as she should be ! She should be help accountable for her actions no matter what her age !!!!!!!!!

The accident between the CAR and motorcycle, was completely avoidable, was the driver of the car texting, Stop signs are very visable their, the life they took was the father of a little girl,son of parents, maybe a brother and a friend of many, and some new friend THIS WAS A USELESS -AVOIDABLE DEATH TO AN ENICENT YOUNG MAN- VERY UPSET AT THIS HAPPENED, WHAT DOES IT TAKE FOR PEOPLE TO PAY ATTENTION TO OTHER MOTORISTS AND STOPS SIGN AND RED LIGHTS. MAYBE LIFE IN REAL JAIL
