Fa­ther of five Kezie Blondell al­ways loved cars, mo­tor­cy­cles and rac­ing. Trag­i­cal­ly, less than a year af­ter he be­gan rid­ing, he lost his life af­ter his mo­tor­cy­cle crashed along the high­way in La Brea on Sun­day night. Thir­ty-four-year-old Blondell, a me­chan­ic and life­guard, was the on­ly bread­win­ner in his fam­i­ly.

Po­lice said Blondell, who had been lim­ing with friends, was rid­ing his blue Suzu­ki 600 along the Vance Riv­er Ac­cess Road around 7:35 pm, when at­tempt­ed to over­take a Hon­da Civic near the ramp lead­ing to the Archibald & De Leon High­way, lost con­trol and crashed in­to the con­crete bar­ri­ers. He was trans­port­ed by am­bu­lance to the Point Fortin Hos­pi­tal, where he was pro­nounced dead at 8.42 p.m. The man­gled mo­tor­cy­cle was towed to the La Brea Po­lice Sta­tion.
