A motorcyclist who sailed off the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway after crashing into a sport utility vehicle was clocked at 116 mph moments before the wreck, a bridge official said Monday (Dec. 12). The search for the victim has resumed, with sheriff's deputies from St. Tammany and Jefferson parishes scouring the water in boats.

Dufrechou said a Causeway police officer was driving south on the bridge on Saturday at about 11 p.m. when he saw a motorcycle speeding north. The officer radioed to a colleague who was parked in a crossover near the bridge's eight-mile hump.

Investigators were not sure whether the cyclist lost control and flew off the motorcycle before or after hitting the left rear of the SUV, which was in the right lane, Dufrechou said. The debris field started just before the 8.1-mile marker and extended several hundred feet to the north, he said.

If they can ever find & ID him, we may have to put him in for a Darwin Award.

Speed is its own reward. Sometimes you pay the price.

Any word on how are the real victims: the driver and any passengers in the SUV? I really couldn’t care less about the idiot on the suicycle.

Then I hope he enjoyed his reward. I assume the other person was okay since they didn’t say, but their vehicle is damaged which means they will have to deal with that. The person probably didn’t have insurance, since so many don’t down here, so they may be stuck with the costs as well.

Do you realize how many of these tragedies physics is directly involved with? We need to ban physics immediately. Don’t even start me on math.
