Motorcyclist Killed After High-Speed Crash Overnight
Tuesday April 17, 2007 11:07am Posted By: Kevin King


Tulsa - A Broken Arrow man was killed early Tuesday morning after a motorcycle accident on Highway 169 near 81st Street.

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.

so who can name the bike?

Could be a CBR of some sort... I'd hate to have to clean up that mess... He obviously didn't get enough binning practice...

[Sidewinder]

...too bad it wasn't a harley, there's too many of those all over the world

[twowheelz]

looks like an F4i

[Grahameeboy]

Back protector was of no use eh?

Geeze how did he not see the truck. In the States they are normally lit up like a Christmas tree.

RIP

[Kflasher]

I would say it is a gixxer, only based on the rear silver fairings.
Apart from that, fark what a nasty way to end up...

Maybe he was "hung up" about something...

I read about it on a US Kawi forum, was gonna post it last week when i saw it, but thought it was a little much..

I think it is an 05/06 Krapasaki

it would have happened so fast the rider wouldnt have felt a thing

Now now, keep it nice.......

[RantyDave]

He said that the impact was so strong that he thought he was hit from behind by another truck.
So why'd it take him a quarter mile to stop?

Other than that ... ouch. Looks like he just completely didn't see it.

[The Lone Rider]

Am I the only who finds posting the photos of the demised just slightly a bit tasteless?

[outlawtorn]

probably.....it's not really tasteless, sometime it takes these kind of photos to educate people. Some riders think they are bulletproof, they need to see this kind of shit to wake them up a wee bit.

[marty]

60 tonne, 75mph, impact, realise something wrong, brakes on, easily 400m to stop

[Toaster]

Am I the only who finds posting the photos of the demised just slightly a bit tasteless?

Agreed, they should have been censored at least.

[Toaster]

I recall seeing the file photos from the fatal biker crash on Peak Rd a while back. Just horrific.

[TS99]

Am I the only who finds posting the photos of the demised just slightly a bit tasteless?

Have to agree with ya dyers... It's like those fuckin "rubber neckers" on the motorway that slow down to have a jacksie at an accident across the barrier in the other direction... next thing ya know there's mayhem behind them as ppl start piling on the brakes... ppl who actually have their eyes on the road.

This is one for the rubber neckers :sick: - nothing educational bout it. Keep to the speed limit... simple really!

[MyGSXF]

Back protector was of no use eh?

just what I was thinking.. :shutup:

Seriously though.. the poor bloody truck driver walking to the back of his truck, & being confronted with a sight like that.. :sick:

RIP rider..:bye: obviously he was being a twat.. but still.. :mellow:

[bert_is_evil]

jebus that's gross

Sorry to anyone that thinks this post is in poor taste. Please feel free to PM a mod to remove it. I posted it as someone already said, to prove that no one is bullet proof.

Adds a new meaning to 'Draggin Jeans'. Though it is a graphic picture I don't think that it is tasteless to post the reality of a bike crash here. A sobering sight for all of us to take notice of.

[Korumba]

should not have been going so fast without a front wheel.

[Usarka]

fuck i thought i was gonna read a helmet review heavy trip

[Sleepr]

Has anyone noticed the red bandanna or hand kerchief in his rear pocket? What a gangsta :P

Wonder why he was going so fast -_-. Poor bugger

Yeah, we know it's nasty, and we know it's bad of me to post them - but grow up, this is an adults website. There was freckin' porn posted in the main forum, go and give out your red rep there!

Um...

Good to see that he was wearing a helmet and decent riding jacket :shit:

Paving a 1/4 of a mile of freeway.......


Or pinged off on impact?

The truck driver stole them :P.

[Kwakajack]

Ouch! How did he not see the back end of the truck?

Maybe he was a KBer who thought that 200kph on the freeway at night was ok?

Or running from the cops??

[TLMAN]

Wearing a tinted visor!!!

[Lil_Byte]

That has got to hurt.

He is remarkably intact - I wonder what it looks like in the helmet though....

I bet he has sore feet as well :scooter:

I hope he wasn't still alive while being dragged that quarter mile. That's nasty.

Repost police are after you... :D oh I can't be bother looking either...

On a side note... ouch...

[avgas]

have to admit it looks pretty fake with his head stuck there, wouldn't the helmet collapse rather than bend 2mm steel welded sheet?

[Dodgyiti]

My thoughts as well, also if dragged for even 300 metres, wouldn't his feet be ground off to bones?

[janno]

wasn't this posted on ride2die.com?

That's a fairly gruesome site, but certainly gets you thinking about how you vulnerable motorcyclists are.

[FkNAmerican]

Back when I was 16 I was following a van too closely and decided to pull off the highway to have a piss in the woods........couldnt see around the van of course.....so pull off sharply.....and there is an 18 wheeler semi parked just on the shoulder with the driver having a nap. Needless to say I almost ended up on the darwin awards with that one. I would have prolly impacted at about 60 m.p.h. Certain death.

Never again have I pulled a manuever like that. Almost never tailgate and NEVER pull off onto a shoulder without looking WAY ahead.

[pyrocam]

Motorcyclist was traveling at ~120mph and ran into the back of the moving semi-truck. Truck driver said he felt the impact, and it took almost a 1/4 mile for him to pull over.

This is what he found...

not for faint of heart

If the truckie felt the impact... :eek: :shit:

Not that gory though - except from the poor Kawasaki. Anyway, it does show why it's not a bad plan to wear proper boots... ;)

Quite an impact notice of the steel bumper has been bent a lot.

i doubt that he is alive

thirded. Even without the bizarre angle his body is at, why would they stand around taking pics if he was alive and (presumably) in agony?

Yep, I was thinking the same thing, imagine it - Hey dude, just wait there a minute, jus wanna get some cool pics for the interweb!!

I'm surprised his feet wernt ground to nubs from the concrete!

[saul]

I gotta a mag that did blurb on this accident as there was heaps of reports that he lived.

His parents wrote in, he didn't

PB I think it was.

Nice recovery... :p

[Dutchee]

I had a friend who died going under a truck. Hit by sunstrike, he didn't see the truck had stopped. He was decapitated. His funeral was a closed casket. 20+ years on, I still remember Erin.
I'm glad I never saw his body, but am still pissed with him telling me he was older than me (I found out at his funeral what his birthday was).
We had to send another friend with the cops to tell his grandparents their grandson was dead (they didn't know where he was living). Not a good day at work, thankfully none have been that bad since.
