Helmets dont always save lifes.. NWS

[barge]

"Witnesses say the cyclist was going faster than 100 miles per hour

when he crashed into the back of a semi truck between 81st and 91st

Street at about one o'clock Tuesday morning.



Investigators say evidence shows the cyclist was going about 120

miles per hour at the time of the impact. It took the truck driver

more than a quarter of a mile to come to a stop. When he did, he

stepped out of his rig and found the motorcyclist dead at the back of

the truck.



"The truck driver was not hurt," says Captain Matt Kirkland. "He said

that the impact was so strong that he thought he was hit from behind

by another truck."



Officers said there was no indication that drugs or alcohol played a

factor in the accident."


RIP.

Yeah, since when are deceased accident victims ever shown? What's the source of this? Although this is the internet, pictures of dead people aren't all that uncommon. :?

With the ambos, cops, stretched neck, and blood on the road from dragging the feet on the ground etc it's too bizarre to be a fake IMO. RIP to the dude I say, but with speeding on the road you've got to accept the risks and the consequences... and death is one of them :roll:

where is the damage to the truck where the bike would have gone?

You can see in the 3rd pic

 

[CLuTZ]

To me it looks like a film set- where is everyone??

 

[MADVR4]

sorry but that is fake.... look at the road behind the 3rd shot

its not even blocked off... there is no people and there def would be tape etc etc...

its a movie scene or something like it...

also the body most likely wouldnt stay like that... where are his shoes? and where is the bike???

also i may have read it wrong but impact while both moving in the same direction wouldnt cause that type of scene... maybe head on but even then its a long shot that a body would stay up like that.... dead weight is heavy weight lol

and lastly impact like that would have probably severed the head from the torso...

fake imho

i rekn its real.

crazy shiiiet. dumb ass for speeding i guess :shock:

 

[i2obert]

well a guy out the front of my work got hit by a truck and it did the opp

head came stright off so i dont know

who knows if it is real or not but a movie set could be true to

 

[EVOLANCER]

na it looks real... but then again 120 n hit the back of a truck, his body should be split in half... who knows... RIP to him... thats what ya get for speeding i guess. its a risk

I reckon decapitation wouldn't be ruled out at 120......

I'm going to call fake on this one too... 200kms man... Thats damn fast to run into the back of a truck. Even in car you would come out worse off...

hurm..... check the police car and the ambo.... its in USA.... could be tru as an accident this "small" extent they wouldnt block off an entire 3 lane hwy.... but it is a lil sus....

 

[kaotik]

i rekon its fake, that helmet would not have stayed on his head so perfectly or stayed in one peice if he went straight into the back of a truck at 200km/h. ive seen smashed helmets from alot less than that, not even the plastic visor is broken, if ANYTHING that would have have definatley smashed.
but if it is real...well....unlucky

 

[EVO-00X]

Ahhh, the link for the last photo in the first thread didnt work. Here is a pic of the bike! So, you still reckon its real or fake? :lol: (although I dunno how a red cap could be positioned where it is and stay on let alone stay so clean unless someone picked it up from the ground afterward and put it there?? )

 

[p3akin]

oh well fellas, real or not, should open our eyes and don't be stupid on the roads... simple

 

[MADEVO]

wouldn't the bike also be firmly lodged under the truck??

 

[matress]

you would think so!

and howcome the truck is parked in the service lane?
