Replying to Motorcycle accident
Just thought I'd share something that happened to me recently:
My friend Mitch and I were returning home from another friend's house at around 11:30 Friday night. We stopped at a red light at an intersection between a regualr street and a highway. In front of us was a black SUV. The light went green, and we began to cross the intersection. Being in the passenger seat, I wasn't really paying attention to what was going on, but all of a sudden I heard Mitch say "Oh SHIT" and slam on his brakes. I look up to see a rather large superbike (crotch-rocket) doing about 80 mph slam into the back-right quarterpanel of the SUV. The black SUV spun 180 degrees into another white SUV, and the woman on the back of the bike was thrown over the bike and under the tires. The driver of the bike was also thrown about 25 feet.
"Holy fucking shit" I said as Mitch backed out of the intersection. We parked in a gas station parking lot across the intersection and ran over. I saw someone already calling 911. I didn't look too closely at the bodies, but I did see that only the man was moving. When the cops came I walked back and glanced at the woman. No one was standing around her, seeing if she was okay, there was a huge pool of blood around her head. I saw that she was not wearing a helmet, and I knew she was dead. The cops questioned Mitch and I for a bit, finally letting us leave at about 12:30. I later found out that both the man and the woman (20 and 19 years old) were both killed.
Scary night, to say the least.
