When they find him, they should hang this guy out to dry. But, it's just a biker he killed, so what's the chance of that happening?

Surfside Beach police officers are searching for a man they say caused a crash Wednesday night that sent two motorcyclists to the hospital, according to Chief Andy Christenson.
The crash occurred at 11:51 p.m. on U.S. 17 Business at Surfside Drive, Christenson said.
A man driving a motorcycle southbound on U.S. 17 Business tried to turn left onto Surfside Drive, but struck two motorcyclists who were traveling northbound on U.S. 17 Business, Christenson said.
Christenson said the motorcyclist who caused the wreck sped away after the collision.
A Greenville woman, 43, was airlifted to the Medical University South Carolina in Charleston and is in critical condition with life-threatening injuries, Christenson said.
The woman's husband, 44, also was injured when the Harley-Davidson he was driving was struck. He is listed in stable condition at Grand Strand Regional Medical Center, Christenson said.
The couple's identities have not been released.
Neither victim was wearing a helmet, Christenson said. S.C. law does not require motorcyclists older than 21 to wear a helmet.
The S.C. Highway Patrol's Multidisciplinary Accident Investigation Team is investigating the crash, Christenson said.
Anyone with information on the motorcyclist is asked to call the Surfside Beach Police Department at 843-913-6368.
