"No Helmet" advocate killed in SUV-on-bike crash

An Eastern Shore man who was the state director of an organization that lobbies for the rights of motorcycle owners -- such as the right not to wear a helmet -- was killed Wednesday when an SUV collided with his motorcycle. Martin L. Schultz died at the scene, while the SUV driver had only minor injuries after she struck a telephone pole. Police said a helmet was recovered from the scene of Schultz's crash, but it was not immediately known if he was wearing it at the time of the accident. Often, anti-helmet activists carry helmets on their bikes in the event they are pulled over by police, but do not ride with them normally. The group Schultz led -- "A Brotherhood Against Totalitarian Enactments" -- had a "Helmet Law Protest Ride" scheduled for October. [Thanks to Jim C for the tip!]
