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.

delete please, too graphic. we dont need to see this. word warning is good enough. or just the link to the story. no hard feeling to the original poster.

I've seen more gory photos than this (it was a 80mph collision between a euro econobox and a tractor trailer, ick), but yea sad story. Going that fast, esp. on a bike has serious consequences.

thanks michelle. i now feel a little easier knowing that i wouldn't by accident hit the post and all the pictures show up and again. i have seen a lot worse, but i dont want to see them here where i read almost everyday.

soccerjunky: Where's the friggin' linky?

I hope this artlice (maybe sans picture apparently) gets circulated more. I hate those mobs of crotch rocket guys that speed 100+ on crowded highways.
