Last night, a 38 year old man rear-ended a Town Car on the Williamsburg Bridge. The Post describes that his body crashed into the livery cab's rear window, and then he was "ricocheted" over the side and into the East River. Leonard Beckett of Queens was found dead floating in the river by police later. And the Daily News says he had been riding into Manhattan with his motorcycle club, the Southside Renegades. Beckett had five children plus was a foster father to six others.
