Whoa...
Just got in from taking the jedis to the park. As we were walking up, we heard this BANG, but nothing more. So the kids went on to run around in the park and this lady and I sat and visited. Pretty soon, we see across the field at the road a fire truck coming, sirens going. So we both agree the bang we heard must have been a car accident...no squealing tires, though...
Pretty soon there was three fire trucks...the last one didn't have it's siren going though.
So we watched for a while, then we see a couple walking their dog coming from the general direction of the accident. They stopped and talked to us and said that a pickup truck had hit a motorcyclist and that the motorcyclist had been thrown up into the air and had flipped up over the truck. I don't know if this is true, but they seemed to know what happened.
What I do know is that they hauled a pickup off in the back of a flatbed truck and eventually all the emergency workers left and not one siren was sounded when they left.
That doesn't sound good at all!
How awful. Hope the motorcyclist is OK. :-/
I don't know how folks have the guts to ride those things on city streets. With all of the bad drivers out there, a person is hard-pressed to survive in a car - much less a bike!
I think that answers it.
