Cycle accident at I40 at harrison

News just in....no fatalities at the scene, but LEOs kinda indicate that it may happen. If you're going to the Cane's game, find a different route.

Motorcyclist killed on I-40 was Fort Bragg soldier

 

God Bless him and his family. :cry::cry::cry::grouphug: When if ever will people pay more attention to those around them, certainly motorcycles...

 

Oh man, that's just sickening. Pay attention to those around you, people!!!

 

I wonder if he was on the phone.

 

or texting, that seems even more dangerous to me than talking on the phone and i am amazed sometimes at the posts (no on here) and emails i see from folks driving down the road, seems like an accident just waiting to happen:cry:

 

I think the story indicated the driver at fault was attempting to change lanes, there were other vehicles involved, probably someone had to swerve out of the way or didn't see him (motorcycle) .........:x

 

Hell dude could've been yaking away or texting while lane changing.

 

When I first read that I thought it said yanking away . . . :mrgreen:

 

now that you mention that... all things are possible.

 

It certainly is! I used to drive a full-size Bronco and made the mistake of looking over into a vehicle I was passing. I saw WAY more than I needed to see. :shock: Now, I never look over at other vehicles when passing when I'm in a taller vehicle. People are scary (and nasty)!

Back to the topic of the thread, I hate it when DH rides on the interstates/540 etc. People aren't paying enough attention regardless. :? So sorry for this guy and his family.
