I was driving in the cage yesterday down 114 in Danvers, when I was passed in the left turn lane by a blue zx-14. He was riding in that lane for about half a mile and I'm all trying to peek forward to keep an eye on the bike to check it out. He got about 3 cars ahaead of me still in the left lane and suddenly I don't see him anymore and I'm wondering where he went. I look up ahead and the bike slid for about 110ft on the pavement, his helmet popped off and under a car waiting to take a left turn ahead of him and him in the roadway. He was hit by a pick up turning into the opposite lane of traffic, and the pick up drove off. He was on the ground unconcious but with eyes open, a nurse who witnessed it was trying to help him and keep him breathing. I hate to say it, but from the look of him I don't think hes going to make it.
I guess overall this is a huge awakening for me. I admit I tend to think of myself as invincible and nothing can happen to me, this kinda of just gave me a reality check. I guess the only thing I can do is pay more attention to everyone else on the road and avoid their blind spots.
I believe his name was Lon and he was 42 years old, someone hear may know him. If so let me know if he's doing ok.
