“Motorcycle riding – that was his favorite thing,” Chuck Schulte, his father, said.

Shane, a mechanical engineering student with a love for sports and life in general, never returned from the ride. He was involved in an accident, which claimed his life.

Bethel Park officials could not comment on the accident but said there were other vehicles involved.

Schulte is Pitt’s second student lost this term. Justin Vandora died in early January when he was hit by a bus near Pitt’s campus.
