I just drove past the scene going southbound. GWS rider. Couldn't tell the model of motorcycle but it was into the guardrail leaning at a 45 degree angle. The air ambulance had already left.

It was an incredibly eerie sight seeing the 400 NB completely empty and devoid of traffic for 10 km.

And then a "damn I'm glad I'm not in that" feeling after driving past, literally, a 10km chain of cars stopped dead in their tracks. (traffic was backed up from hwy 88 to past hwy 9)

This weekend is going to be very nice. PLEASE BE CAREFUL

GWS Rider. Word is he may have lost a leg in the accident. Single vehicle accident....bike inexplicably dove into the guard rails. Bike is being examined for mechanical failure.
