Hope all are ok. Credit to police, fire and ambulance who were all on the scene very quickly and got them to the hospital within minutes – although it seemed like longer.
Of course they were driving at the speed limit!
pull thru my man!
be careful family
Hope the two men can make a full recovery!
I think we all have moments when we think we are invincible on the roads, on a bike injuries are more likely than in cars.
Hopefully everyone back home has been paying attention to the amount of fatalities and collisions that have occurred thus far in 2013…oxox!
I hope they both fully recover! Definitely don’t need any more fatalitites this year! Praying for them!
God Bless Everybody!
you know 80 percent of the time its because of a car driver not paying attention and the rider is being blamed this happens way to often i recently got in an accident on a smatts 50cc rental you know the single seated one which is highly restricted on speed now i am 250+ pounds and was hit on a round about by a car failing to stop at a stop sign do you know the driver claimed i was speeding and i received a ticket now yet people do ride very reckless but instead of always saying bike riders slow down we need to also make a point to slow down people in cars
