jessecwalters Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 On georgesville road infront of Walmart and Hall was a bike accident. Didnt see what happened though. All I saw were plastic parts, and a white bike laying in the middle of the road. Lots of cops, a firetruck and an ambulance were there. Dont know the condition of the rider or who it was tho?

bdruggan10r Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Unfortunately, no, he is not ok. He was pronounced dead on the scene. Estimated speed on impact was 90+ MPH when he hit the Ford Mustang that was occupied by two people. Unknown if he was wearing gear. Need to pray or do what you do for his family at this point. Unknown if he was a member?Story below, but you know the media:http://www.nbc4i.com/cmh/news/local/article/motorcycle_accident_closes_georgesville/16420/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likwid Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 thank you for the update bdrug.What's the speed limit on that road? I've never been down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWing'R Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 thank you for the update bdrug.What's the speed limit on that road? I've never been down there.Probably only 35. Thats a pretty congested area right there with a Walmart, a smaller plaza and a gas station all right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdruggan10r Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 A note about NBC4's story. Headline: "Motorcycle Accident Closes Georgesville"Does that strike anyone else as WRONG?!?!?!A biker loses his life and they make the crux of the story the road closure. Is it just me?

Likwid Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 it's a combination of callousness and how the news sucks...They have to make the article about the reader.... it's retarded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatbikez Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 they always do that crap. they make a big deal like Columbus is the most congested city in the country. Screw NBC 4. and their Ghetto Journalist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdruggan10r Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 90mph in a 35mph zone?? Almost triple the fucking speed limit?? SRSLY?? Keep in mind, that is early news reports. Unkown what a determined speed will be. The news likely got a speed from a passing witness who said, "He had to of been going 90 mph!" In reality he was going 50. Then again... Could have been faster or could have been slower. We don't know yet. Point is, dead is dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vroddave Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 that road is actually 45. so if he was doin 90 that twice the limit. not smart for that area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natedogg624 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 i dont believe the police would have determined a speed yet, or if they have then they are not going to release it just yet.i agree with one of the above post it was probably based on witness accounts, smaller objects appear to be moving faster, he also could have been in a lower gear with engine revs high sounding faster etc...

Crash reconstruction uses a lot of formulas that can not be accoplished on the spot. They certainly would not release the speed which is considered the minimum impact speed to the public yet.
