183 motorcycle accident this morning
183 motorcycle accident this morning
I was told there was a motorcycle fatality on 183 this morning, I don't have much info, I think it happened at one of the lane shifts. I'm suprised someone hasn't been killed before this, I've almost been hit so many times its not funny, I try to avoid 183, dangerous ass road.
I was on my motorcycle and saw the traffic back up but from a distance since I don't take 183, friend of mine said he drove by the scene, it was a blue bike, got hit by a semi.
The semi's just go straight throught here, I've seen them almost turn mini van's into pop cans and I've at least 1 car get ran over. I've almost hit a couple vehicles that come up to the lane shift and instead of shifting they panic brake and stop right on the freeway, 50 mph to 0 as fast as they possibly can.
Mostly I just see trucks drive straight through the shift then the driver in the outside lane locks it up to keep form getting between the wall and the truck and hope they don't get plowed from some dipshit behind them.
They have since added additional lane shifts, again you can barely see them, I hope the construction companies get the ever living shit sued out of them for this, I've been waiting for someone to get killed on that death trap.
Anyone know where we can get the latest news, I don't have TV and I'm not not sure where to get the latest news.

183 is a long ass road, where exactly are you talking?

Re: 183 motorcycle accident this morning
Has Blizz been on here this morning? I don't know if she uses 183 to go to school in the morning. Obviously, we don't know if the accident was eastbound or westbound but she lives near the construction zone.

Re: 183 motorcycle accident this morning
Ok, more info is clearly needed. That bike is not messed up at all, at least in that photo. I wonder if the guy low sided on his own accord and was then ran over by the semi.

Re: 183 motorcycle accident this morning
yea not a lot of info, second picture shows two cops looking around the rear axle of the trailer, I would speculate the rider, is in there.DarcShadow wrote:Ok, more info is clearly needed.

Hood is up on the 18-wheeler, hard to say if they are simply inspecting the truck to make sure everything was working properly, like the trailer brakes, etc.

Re: 183 motorcycle accident this morning
weird that the bike wasn't damaged. Wonder what happened. They said during the investigation the bike was upright and on the kickstand, but someone could have picked it up.

I found out that he was an elementary school teacher. I pray not only for his friends and family but also the kids that he taught.

This is a shame. The stretch and onramp area are insane!
