‘If only I had worn the right gear'

It has been more than a year since the motorcycle accident, but the scars are still fresh.

Auburn resident Hailey Rice was 17 years old on June 2, 2007, when she fell off the back of a motorcycle that was traveling at 97 mph down Gates Road in Sennett.

Police reports indicate Rice, who was a passenger on the bike, was ejected when the motorcycle hit the crest of a hill.
