As reported on ABS-CBN News TV Patrol last night, Mad Dog MC Club Member and Australian national Neil Barnes was killed in an accident involving a passenger bus and Mr. Barnes.

According to eyewitness reports, the bus rear-ended Mr. Barnes as their group was slowing down to pull into a gas station along the South Luzon Expressway. The driver of the bus apparently escaped after the accident (according to the news report). Curiously the initial report on the ABS-CBN News website has mysteriously disappeared and is no longer viewable.

This is not the first time an accident involving passenger buses and motorcycles have been covered by mainstream media. But this is the first time in a long while that a member of a well known and respected MC Club was involved.

We hope that this case will receive justice swiftly. We remember all too well the runaround some families have been given.

Motorcycle Philippines extends it’s condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Neil Barnes.
