So im driving home today and my gf called me to see if i was ok… well apparently a bike hit a car pretty hard, from what i heard from people who saw the accident said the car made a left hand turn and the bike t-boned it right infront of blockbuster on southwestern in OP. Looked pretty serious, and a few including myself thought it could have been fatal. I stopped by to return a movie and there were blankets over the guy as he left on a stretcher. Looked to be a harley with white walls. Hope everyone is ok! ---

From what i heard from witnesses, the car (making a left turn) cut infront of the bike coming in the opposite direction and the bike t-boned it. And there were blankets over the passanger side of the car and the person on the bike. Looked to be a black harley, white walls, red full face helmet and a black jacket ---

Nothing for a few weeks, and i’ve heard of two accidents yesterday (neither fatal thankfully) and then a frantic call from the girl tonight about another one.

You know, as bad a reputation as sportbike riders get sometimes, in my 6 years of riding experience I have had only a very few select times where I put myself in a shitty situation that could have ended badly, and it never involved me potentially hurting anyone else but myself. From my experience, most of the time its some shitty driver that just is not paying attention to WTF they are doing. Hope the guy is ok, most likely he’s not. 😕 ---

I really hope the dude pulls through, it doesn’t look like he was in the wrong either ☹ I just rode by there on my way home about 15 minutes ago. just a bunch of road flares and emergency crews hanging around… looked pretty grim… the first report i heard was that it was a green ninja, (now i know that was wrong) and for the first time all year i was hoping you DIDN’T have your bike on the road yet. best wishes to this rider for sure… ---

jesus. the guy drove by about 10 minutes before we left mighty and i remember thinking the whitewalls looked good and the full face helmet was wierd for the kind of bike he was on. to be honest, he was probably hauling since he was hammering down southwestern when we saw him. ---

I saw a guy who went down today too, middle-aged guy on a Harley or something similar by Burger King on Camp. He was sitting in the grass looking sore, didn’t look too bad. Stay safe out there! ---

The crews wouldn’t even let me drive past the blockbuster, they were diverting traffic down union.
