The accident reconstruction by seasoned investigators put him in Malm's lane of travel at the time of the crash, and Thompson said they found something resembling a suicide note written by Lane in his belongings....<br /><br />On Wednesday, the Marion County District Attorney's Office filed a motion for dismissal of the charges without prejudice, stating the interest of justice called for the charges to be dismissed....<br /><br />Because the case was dismissed without prejudice, prosecutors will be able to re-file charges. The district attorney's office confirmed they were continuing to investigate the crash, but said it would be speculation for either party to say Lane's death was a suicide.</i>"Salem Breakfast on Bikeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15618055627843335993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666195730630249633.post-49388137155897627742016-04-19T12:21:44.288-07:002016-04-19T12:21:44.288-07:00From an update on charges in the paper today:

- The Sale...My two thoughts on these incidents are:<br />- The Salem Parkway should have progressively slower speed limits and narrower lanes starting from the Cherry Street intersection west. <br />- High school students should not be allowed to drive to school.
