i was there -he flew like 40ft
I unfortunately had to walk by the crime scene on my way to school. May he rest in peace.
My deep heartfelt condolences to the family of Landon Burke. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. ❤️🙏❤️
My heart goes out to the family
🙏🏻🙏🏻 for the family😢
I'd hate to battle Frisco traffic on a bicycle at 5:00 am. I'd have more lights on my bike than a Christmas tree.
Driver was most likely going way too fast and most likely on his phone? Maybe?🤔 Worst drivers in the country by far and not enough policing. I feel so sad for his family😢
In general drivers in Texas are bad. Every driver in Texas should go through tough driving test every year and renew their license. Speed limit within any neighborhood should be ONLY 10 miles speed. At least in my neighborhood teenagers are driving really crazy and they never stop in any of the stop signs.

Lots of assumptions claiming the truck was speeding. It sounds like the bike was crossing and didn't yield to the active lane of traffic and rode in front of a moving vehicle. There is not much traffic at 5am, but its very dark. Was the bike outfitted with lights and proper reflectors, was the biker wearing visible clothing, clearly these are factors that could have helped, other than following basic traffic laws. Being he was under the driving age, was he in a crosswalk? Was he walking his bike in the crosswalk? Lots of factors here, yet so many are assuming speeding is the problem based on comments in and posted on the video.
So a 15 year old girl gets hit and killed as well as the middle schooler all within 24 hours of each other in Frisco? 😒 Wtf
Man these folks speed thru the school zones to save a total of 2 seconds during their commute.
My father was a first responder who barricaded the accident. He was able to see the boy lying there and he came home and gave me a big hug.
This is so tragic and so upsetting. I live near this area and can't begin to imagine the grief this boy's family must be experiencing. Imagine sending your son on his bicyclye to football practice on his first day of school and never seeing him again. A life cut way too short. My prayers and sympathy to the family, the students, and the community who are mourning the loss of this young man.
