Community Mourns Father, Coach Killed in Crash

They are remembering a beloved coach who was killed in a motorcycle crash. Police say 26-year-old Kamron Redding-Hall was riding on Friday night in East Hartford. The coach had been a running back at Weaver High School where the team won several state championships. But things went horribly wrong on the Exit 55 off ramp on I-84 East that night. Police are still investigating the crash and ask anyone with information to give them a call.

Youth Team Prepares for Football Season Without Beloved Coach

Instead, the Hartford Hurricanes found themselves gearing up for the football season without him. Kamron Redding-Hall, affectionately known as "Coach Kam," should have been at Keney Park instructing the junior Peewee team Monday evening. Redding-Hall's family said the response has been overwhelming and is humbled by the support that continues pouring in. "He'll forever live as long as I'm still here," said Redding-Hall's brother, Keatric Redding, who also coaches the Hartford Hurricanes. This Saturday's "Stop the Violence Jamboree" at Colt Park in Hartford will be renamed the Kamron Redding-Hall Bowl.

Since motorcycle crashes often end in serious injuries, victims need immediate help

Motorcycle accidents are more likely to end in serious injuries or death for the motorcyclist, since the rider is not protected from the force of a collision. When a motorcycle accident happens, the injured rider needs immediate, appropriate medical care, the accident needs to be investigated, and the insurance companies need to be informed.

When a motorcycle crash is caused by negligence, additional steps need to be taken to protect the legal rights of the injured motorcyclist or the family members of someone killed in a motorcycle crash. Go here to learn more about motorcycle accidents and claims.
