Who else here saw the accidents yesterday?? There must've been atleast 5 different accidents on that road.. 3 or so happened around the exact same time. Then later a few others. My dad said the Devil must've been walking that road yesterday.

I saw what looked like one on Fred around Chambers at 4:50 yesterday. I always turn off a side road before that, so didn't see what happened, just saw the back up. Apparently everyone else discovered y short cut yesterday too....

It was terrible... one involved a women on a motorcycle, she had on a pink helmet and was being tended to by a few nurses who looked like they were on their way to work. I hope she makes it (very sad)

that motorcycle one is being investigated as a road rage incident according to a story I read on one of the local sites (can't remember which one). It appeared like he tried to take on a beer delivery truck for some stupid reason and obviously lost. He then got a gun and made the whole thing much worse. To top it off, the woman on the bike is in critical condition.
I don't know why these bike riders think they are invincible. I've never seen it anywhere else I've lived and I used to ride and knew there was no way I was going to win against a car/truck/big truck. These fools play games all the time, though, and it is so tempting to assist them in screwing up...

He allegedly was doing up to 80 mph (on a bike, in town, heavy traffic ) weaving in and out.....don't know if that's been shown to be true, but that was what was reported initially. So, he clips the back of the beer truck, she goes flying off the bike (I hope she's going to make it ), he freaks out and puts a gun to his head, saying he can't live without his wife (um, slow down and don't be such an aggressive rider), then decides he'd rather live and just wants to kill the beer truck driver. I read that yesterday on WOAI, and a similar story was on mysa.com, and I don't know how true any of it is, but IF it is, what a sad, sad story.
