This is terrible and I hate to be ‘that guy’, but I was listening to the scanner traffic while this was happening and they said repeatedly mile marker 95.
I spoke to the CHP and they were there. That doesn’t mean they are infallible but, they are less likely to make mistakes. I’ll stick with that mile marker until I get better evidence.
Kym. Once again… u kick ass. Thanks
Sorry to hear the motorcycle driver has died. Prayers to his family.
This is sad and tragic. What is with that stretch of road lately? Too many accidents.
That stretch of road is sought after nation wide for its Motercycleing ! It’s the banked corners,smooth surface and yes….danger that draws every mark of moterists there. Not only that….it’s buetiful , but needs lots of respect!
My condolences to friends and loved ones. Drive a car. Ride a bike. Rider!
