Bit of a dark cloud around here lately. A co-worker went on a ride yesterday and a guy in the group crashed going around a turn and died.

The usual bike accident, headed into a turn going too fast. Instead of trying to finish the turn he locked up the rear brake and hit a wall, went over the wall into a creek, about a 15 foot drop.

Thanks, If he had crashed any other place he would have maybe broken a bone or two and would be thinking about how to get his bike back on the road.

The driver of an SUV lost control and went off the highway and overturned in the woods.

Somebody probably cut the person off and they overreacted.

Lets see if they get hit again. Instead of moving off the roadway, they left one vehicle just sticking out into traffic.

Now we have an accident outside our coverage area involving a pickup that flipped several times. On about as straight a stretch of road as you'll ever find.
