For some reason, the cop just let my brother through the roadblock without even bothering to tell him anything was wrong. (we still don't know why he didn't stop him or if he was even at his post)
So my brother went down the hill and ran head first into the tree going about 80 kph. His bike flew up the hill about 100 yards and he went flying backwards on his back & almost tore his head off.
The cop and township was totally at fault but we were screwed for suing em because it would have meant mortgaging everything we owned to pay for the lawyers, so they basically got away with it.

The whole thing kinda knocked me for a loop for a couple of years cause we were just starting to work on a new band and build a studio.
