A Vietnam War veteran could enjoy one last motorcycle ride thanks to his hospice care team and a retired police officer.
Kenneth Jones, 71, who suffered a series of strokes and is now receiving end-of-life care in Phoenix, Ariz., rode in a sidecar while retired Mesa Police Officer John Duhigg drove the 17-mile ride, Fox 10 Phoenix reported.

His ride on Monday was planned by his caretaker, McKella Williams, who knew about his love for two wheels.
