As some of you know, I'm Paramedic. This past Sunday, there was a horrible motorcycle wreck just a mile from my station.

A Mustang crossed lanes and hit 2 Goldwings, each carrying 2 people. One Goldwing exploded on contact, the Mustang caught fire. 3 of the 4 motorcyclist died on scene, the 4th a short time later in the ER (3 of them were wearing helmets). Gruesome scene. In the Mustang, the driver and pasenger had several facial fractures, and their 3-yo in the backseat had a skull fracture (all 3 alive, kid is doing fine last I heard).



Driver is held with a $2 MILLION bond, and is being charged with atleast 4 counts of Criminally Negligent Homicide.

Troopers are speculating falling asleep, and witnesses claim he was weaving just prior to it happening.


This part of the road is a 2-lane highway with speed limit of 60. About once a month or two we have a nasty wreck due to a car crossing the yellow lines. Scares the bejeezus out of me considering I ride on that road on my bike to get to work.

From the article (updated?)

"DPS spokesperson Trooper Jean Dark said initial reports show the Mustang was traveling on the wrong side of the road, attempting to pass another car, when he hit the motorcycles."

Scary.

Yes, I know what the article states, but several articles also state that the 3yo was flown to the hospital (not true), that all 4 bikers died at the scene (not true), that it happened south of I-20 (not true) and several other things.


Honestly, I've never been a fan of journalists...

maybe one day people who don't want to pay attention to driving won't have to and our cars will drive themselves... the rest of us who actually enjoy driving will be better off.

Stories like this really suck. Poor families. :-( In such a horrendous collision, the riders would have likely died or been at least seriously injured, even if they'd been in a cage.

RIP X 4

BTW, I think the cops have it right this time. Whatever reason he crossed the line, 4 people died and it was his fault.

I had a friend get mangled by a truck driver that fell asleep and crossed the line suddenly. So I think the "sleepy driver" theory is very plausible.

Condolences to the families of the slain.

My condolences to all the families involved in this horrible tragedy.

I really hope something can be done for the driver if it is found out that this was truly an accident. Certainly he is responsible and some type of punishment is in order, but he already has to live with the knowledge that he has killed four people for the rest of his life.

If the evidence proves he was driving recklessly, then I certainly think he deserves life in prison.
