A former Teutopolis man was killed in a motorcycle accident in Folsom, Calif., Tuesday evening.

According to Folsom police, Lawrence Schumacher, 24, of Orangevale, Calif., lost control of the motorcycle he was driving, causing it to leave the roadway and strike at tree at 7:08 p.m. Tuesday on Glenn Drive in Sacramento County. 

The Major Accident Response Team is still investigating the accident because there were no witnesses, stated a press release issued by police.

“Someone was driving down the road and saw debris and the victim just off the road,” said Folsom Police Department Sgt. Rick Hillman. 

According to Hillman, the extent of damage to the motorcycle and the widespread scattering of motorcycle debris indicates Schumacher was driving at a high rate of speed at the time of the accident. 

Police believe Schumacher was returning home from work and there was no evidence indicating the use of drugs or alcohol, Hillman said. However, it could take up to eight weeks for the toxicology report to be completed.

Schumacher was riding a black 2003 Kawasaki Super Sport RS motorcycle and was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident.

He was pronounced dead at the scene at 7:20 p.m. An autopsy was performed Wednesday afternoon and the cause of death was determined to be from multiple bluntforce injuries, according to the Sacramento County Coroner’s Office.

Schumacher was a 2003 graduate of Teutopolis High School.

My boots just came!!!

I threw up last night at 3 AM. I actually had a dream about my preschoolers throwing up at nap that woke me and it was like bam, maybe I need to go to the bathroom. I also threw up in the shower and after breakfast. Great. Just great. This is proving to be no fun at all. My boss tells me many teachers and infants were out last week with flu like symptoms, but I don’t ache or have a fever and I’m not pregnant. I’m going with food poisoning from the BBQ place we went to last night. No fun Nancy!

Tyler suggested that I tape them into my journal or something like that. It’s like cut and paste for adults so that I can revisit my thoughts later. It’s less messy but organized in my own way.

I adore magazines, but I LOVE to rip out wishes of items or projects that I like. You should see our car after Tyler’s mom generously gives me her old magazines for the trip home! Tonight, I realized that this is a tad out of control. I’ve forgotten who I ripped “that” gift out for or why I pulled that picture out of the book. However, I do recycle all mixed paper, so no magazines will go in the landfill. How do I organize my ideas so I don’t have piles all over the apartment.

They are all asleep. No routine for 4-5 days and we’re slowly falling back into our old school routine.

She said that my Wii fit age has dropped from 43 to 34 in 12 days and that I have lost two pounds. Hooray!!!
