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.

Did it knock the guy's shoes off (plus a sock)!!??? I'm glad he was using his head. Maybe if that helmet had been Snell approved...hehe.
Maybe I shouldn't find it amusing, but I haven't slept for 3 days now, so most everything is funny now.

Those are some crazy pictures.

Not a good way to go out. Oh. And how do you run into the back of a semi?

He probably did not have his tennis shoes laced up properly...

Judging by his gear, he probably had one of those rediculously dark visors which at 1am, depth perception goes out the window. Couple that with traveling at 120+, it'ld be easy to misjudge distance/closure rate. Also, by looking at where he "landed", we can see that he just about made the pass, thereby proving the lack of depth perception theory.

Moral is (other than the obvious): Get a clear visor if you're going to be riding at night.
