Cousins Richard Aaron Dale, 19, and Cameron Ian McClintock, 15, were killed on March 17 when their motocross bikes collided in mid-air while they were riding at the family farm. A recent inquest is hoped to bring some measure of closure to a terrible family tragedy.

Richard and Cameron were cousins, which makes the tragedy all the worse. Both Richard and Cameron were riding at a family farm. They road to the top of a hill for a moment. When suddenly Richard went down the hill and over another hill out of view. His cousin followed suit. Suddenly Richard reappeared in mid-air from the same hill he had just gone over. According to a witness "less than a minute later the bikes collided in mid-air." Tragically, Cameron and Richard died at the scene.

Apparently, their motocross bikes and gear were in good order. Although, they were not wearing chest protectors. Richard died from a laceration to his aorta and massive chest cavity hemorrhaging and Cameron died from multiple chest and abdomen injuries.
