Lawyer who fought against helmet laws dies in motorcycle crash while not wearing one

A veteran lawyer who spent his life fighting against helmet laws died in a motorcycle crash after failing to wear one.

Ron Smith, 66, was riding his bike along the U.S. 19 North in Pinellas County in Florida on August 20, when he started to slow down to let traffic through.

He began to lose control of his motorcycle and skid across the road whilst his bike rotated "in a clockwise motion, overturning onto its left side" and smashed into the wheel of a vehicle trailer.
