|  MC meets 18 wheeler
A few days ago, we were called to scene of a MC wreck. Very brutal. The guy who died was 24 and was riding with his dad. They had just left our local dealer after buying the 24 yr old an 04 GSXR750 with less than one mile on it. The dad has ridden for years, this was his sons first bike! They were coming around a very slight corner doing 110mph!! The son lost control and went end over end into oncoming traffic. He met the 18 wheeler carrying a full load going 75 mph. Instant death we believe. His helmet was split right down the middle. His head was missing a chunk over his right eye (all the way to the rear middle of his skull) like someone had sliced his head like you would slice an orange!  There was blood and brain matter all over the windshield of the truck! One of the policemen puked when he walked up to ask the driver of the truck to get out. The truck driver said the biker hit his truck and stuck for a few seconds and thats when he realized what was happening. The bikers limp body then went over the top of the truck and into the median/shoulder area. A witness behind the truck verified his story and said the body slid at least 100 ft before stopping. Please feel free to discuss or ask any questions.
