I witnessed the crash and was the first vehicle to stop on scene and make the frantic 911 call. My prayers and condolences go to the man and his family.
Making a 911 call is never an easy call to make. After seeing something that no human should ever see, witnessing someone in grave danger, scared to death yourself. With that in your mind, you kept your composure to talk to 911 to give help proper directions to your destination where the accident took place. Amanda, you did great. I’m just very sorry that you saw what you saw.
Thank you for making that call. I’m sure his family appreciates your efforts. Always a hard thing and a sad image I am sure. Thoughts for all involved. Prayers to everyone.
What did the man look like? Waa he bald with a beard?
We were on the scene as well. The driver was passing at an insanely fast speed, at least over 100mph, zig-zagging between cars. We remember thinking the driving behavior was extremely dangerous. Seconds later, all the traffic stopped and kind car drivers pulled over to look for him, as his bike was on the left hand shoulder. His body was very far away, maybe 20 meters back from the motorcycle or more. We send our deepest condolences to the family & friends.
In sure the family can not get your graphic description ( uunneccesary ) of their family members horrific painful last few seconds on this earth! wAy to go.. All out of brownie buttons SORRY
That reply from Xyx was not graphic. When you drive erratic and wreckless accidents happen. I passed the scene seconds later. And saw the motorcyclist being attended to by the witnesses My co worker was a few mins ahead and saw him going well over 100mph.
