I came threw around 11:30 and 1 bike was going southbound threw there doing over 100..
People have zero respect for motorcycles, that’s why there’s so many crashes, they need to be banned from public roadways, I’ve never seen anyone on a bike obey any traffic laws
Was there only two bikes did you see anything else
I was also there around that time. the bike went flying by me and there was a cop who put his lights on but then did a u turn and went the opposite direction. then suddenly i was driving through a cloud of smoke or dust or something. the crash must have just happened

Do you recall the mile marker near accident?
I was headed home north bound, around 11:00 and saw them fly by. I came back through around 1:30 to pick up a friend from the island and saw everything shut down, took the detour and saw the body bag. It’s really makes you think about how much life can change in an instant. Personally I ride and it’s terrible to see other guys go down, praying for the families of both of them, and praying he can pull through
How many did you see? Were they riding next to each other?
We Thank you.
Was there anything that was involved in the accident
