A bit of excitement on my way home today

Was heading home after a day in town and just before town, traffic was stopped. An aid car and later a firetruck arrived at the scene. Somebody had mis-judged a turn (the one posted 30MPH and marked with a bunch of big yellow arrows) and crashed. He was alive at the scene and the buddy he was riding with was unharmed. The bike will need a little work though:

Here is an overall shot of the scene:

He was wearing a helmet and leathers and the road conditions were perfect. He ignored the posted speed and mis-judged the turn. When you see a local vehicle slow down to 30 MPH to take a turn, there probably is a reason for this... Posted by DaveH at May 17, 2008 8:50 PM
