Mourner riding home from dad's funeral on motorbike met horrific fate at hands of Karen in a Subaru
A North Carolina man who had just attended his father's funeral was killed by a female hit-and-run driver after going on a motorcycle ride to 'clear his head.'
Jay Guido, 53, went for a ride with his two sons when they encountered a white Subaru on Turnipseed Road near Wendell around 11:15 a.m. Tuesday.
The impatient driver honked her horn from behind the group, passed Guido and slammed on the brakes before driving away.
'This vehicle passed the motorcycles in a reckless manner in a no passing zone and slammed on its brakes before driving away,' the North Carolina State Highway Patrol said.
Gudio was riding his bike at approximately 25 mph due to another motorcycle in the group having mechanical issues, reported WRAL.
One of the motorcyclists tried to catch up with car - believed to be a silver or white newer model Subaru - to get their plate number.
However, the driver braked abruptly again, forcing Guido to lay down the motorcycle - meaning he had to tip his bike over and slide along the ground to avoid a collision.
The father-of-three was transported to the hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.
Guido and his sons had gone out for a ride together after burying his own father earlier that day, according to the family's GoFundMe.
'Jay had just returned from his own father's funeral and chose to take a ride with his two sons, Nick and Nate, to clear his head and spend time doing what they loved together,' the fundraiser said.
Police are still searching for the driver behind the wheel of the Subaru who is described as a blonde female, approximately 40 years old, with shoulder length-hair and was wearing sunglasses.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the State Highway Patrol's Wake County Office.
Loved ones described Guido as a deeply loyal husband, proud father and passionate friend.
'Jay and Kelly were more than husband and wife — they were best friends in every sense,' the GoFundMe said.
'He was fiercely devoted to his family, and his greatest joy came from spending time with them — whether riding with his boys or just being together at home.'
The beloved family-man had been an avid bike rider and had a respected reputation, according to his loved ones.

'Jay was known for his hard work, his love of all things motorcycles and mechanics, and the deep relationships he built with everyone he met,' the family said.
'He worked as a builder at Schumacher Homes, where his reputation for dedication and integrity followed him into every room he entered.
'When he wasn't working, you'd find him out in the garage, tinkering with bikes or cars — or on the road, riding alongside his sons.'
