Does anyone have a link to the pics from that huge crash in EU? - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

I remember it being posted, but cannot find the link via Search...
This is that huge pile-up on the highway in EU somewhere, or in Italy. I forget which...
Thanks in advance!

Could you be a bit more specific? That's sort of like asking "Does anyone have pictures of that big pile-up somewhere between the Florida Keys and Vancouver B.C.?

Do you know John Smith from the US?

What a mess!! Looks like a lot of injuries too. Check out the guy laying on the ground in the third frame, beside the guy hugging the guardrail. Many shots later and he hasn't moved an inch! Notice the locked up rear tires and skid marks as well

The girl with the flaming red hair and no helmet goes down too...yikes.

Not a pretty scene at all.

Thank you easy pete!
Sorry I couldn't be more specific... I didn't really remember the details too well except that it was a huge pile-up with a lot of bikes....

I thought John Smith was the bloke from England who sh@gged Pocahantas.

Following too close and not paying attention makes for a fun group ride!

One of the things I was tryin to figure out in the pics was why, after the accident in the right lanes, did it seem like later riders were all coming up in the right lanes? In fact, you can see the left lane becoming empty. Then I went back over it and saw that in the oncoming lanes someone had stopped their car and walked over to the divider and started waving his hands in the air for a short time. I think the oncoming riders saw that and figured ther was something wrong in the left lane, so they all moved over to the right lanes..... and proceeded right into the wreckage ahead of them.

This event did not occur in the EU, but in Russia instead. BTW, this has been discussed here before.
