We drove by this in the cage a few minutes after it happened. I hope he's okay as well.

I love Ontario drivers. Something similar happened to me, but I managed to stop inches away from the green Escort wagon, due to being on the ball and lookout for dumbasses like that.. He was making a right turn, I was in the left lane, going past him, when he decided to swing over and make a left turn without looking or signalling. Had I not been scared for my life at that moment (REALLY close call), I would have followed him over and left him a few reminders about proper driving.

Well sad to report that one of these riders is in pretty bad shape, he was in critical care for 3 days and has just recently been moved to a slightly lower state of care. I don't have all the details as his BB was destroyed in the crash and visitors are being restricted to immediate family members only. Neal suffered massive injuries and broke virtually every bone on one side of his body, it's going to take many, many months of physiotherapy. The second rider his brother was fine and release from hospital with minor injuries.

I'll keep this thread up to date with his progress, this sucks.

we drove by this one as well shortly after it happened...i was just thinking about jumping off and hitting the service road because of the traffic, and then noticed they had it closed off and the 2 bikes were on the ground.
