" I'm so sorry that Marcus is hurt, and that his life is in danger. Our prayers are with his family! Questions: was Marcus wearing a helmet? Was the driver of the car speeding or intoxicated? Or was it just a horrible accident despite all of the safety precautions? "

" Just for a clarification the paper did not pick up. The man HIT the boy, the boy did not hit the man. I am a frequent visitor and friend of someone who lives right infront of the house it happened at. The gentleman who hit Marcus has ALWAYS driven his SUV very fast down that road. He lives at the end of rosewood, and when the road turns into assfalt, he drives just as fast through there. He is constantly yelled at for driving fast and now he has seriously hurt a young boy. This child will forever have to deal with his injuries because of Mr. Kupka's neglect. Also, Mr. Kupka was not driving a car, he was driving a late model Dodge Durango (SUV), white in color. "

" Just another example of the Register not proofreading their copy. The first paragraph says that this little boy hit the car with his bike and the second to last paragraph states that the car hit the little boy. Let's get it right or not report it at all. Mr. Kupka may or may not be at fault here. I suspect he is not, but the register has tried and convicted him because of bad writing. I have had this happen to me and I was not at fault. Thankfully no one was injured and I just got a broken headlight, but I would not have liked having my name slammed about by reporters who cannot even guarantee continuity in their articles. I would love a job at the Register. Just like the Bush administration. Do it wrong, get a promotion and no accountability. "

" Why didn't the kid wear a bike helmet on his head and if he was wearing a helmet in the first place, he sure wouldn't have a serious injury to his head, my prayers are with the kid & the family for a recovery. God Bless. "

" Fault is not determined by who hit who first. It is determined by who committed a vehicle code violation that was the most direct factor in causing the collision. "

" The most important thing here is that Marcus has a quick recovery!!! My thoughts and prayers are with Marcus and his family!!! Get well soon Marcus. "

" The parents are to blame here. Who lets a child ride a bike on a street without a helmet or knowing the rules of the road? The man who's car got hit by the child should be repaired by the neglectful parents. shame on them. "
