Some what local crash (news story) looks like a new 300?

subxero · August 11th, 2014, 05:59 AM

Came across this in a news feed. Didn't think much of it until I noticed it was a new 300

I don't know of anyone on the forum with a 300 from that area, maybe ill try to browse the 300 forum to see if anyone knew this rider.

@Kscreations08 this is more out your way but still not all that close, you know anyone out that way?

Either way, from pictures looks like he probably entered to hot for his skill/comfort, gave up on the turn and target fixed. They say he hit a boulder, wish there were better pictures of the path of the rider/bike. In PA it is pretty common for large boulders 3feet high x 3 or 4 feet long to be used as barriers similar to the ones in the one picture, not sure if his bike hit that and flipped over the fence?

They say it hit a tree as well.

Edit: (after looking at the pics, I think the bike hit the rocks perhaps just off to the right of the one picture, then hit a tree, bounced off and then came to rest on the fence.... maybe...)

Since it does look like a newer 300, there is a fair chance that they were a newish rider as well

Rider seems ok, broken leg at least

Expensive day.
Here in NY...police / FD ambulance ride is billed @ about $1600.
Medevac....? $10k wouldn't surprise me.

Wow. Yea, thats a 2014 SE... Hope he'll be ok.

I cringed at reading "obvious broken leg".

W/o Medflight insurance here a five minute flight out and return to the hospital after the patient died was $15,000.00. The insurance is about $75.00 per year and flight is included.

What is the layout of the place. Two fatalities at the same location. Can you paste in a google map of the area?

Too close to home for comfort. Haven't heard anything through the grape vine in my area though. Constant reminder to stay alert and ride within your limits :/

looks like he ran wide around a sharp curve.
