Motorcyclist Killed After High-Speed Crash Overnight Tuesday April 17, 2007 11:07am Posted By: Kevin King

Tulsa - A Broken Arrow man was killed early Tuesday morning after a motorcycle accident on Highway 169 near 81st Street.

Witnesses say the cyclist was going faster than 100 miles per hour when he crashed into the back of a semi truck between 81st and 91st Street at about one o'clock Tuesday morning.

Investigators say evidence shows the cyclist was going about 120 miles per hour at the time of the impact. It took the truck driver more than a quarter of a mile to come to a stop. When he did, he stepped out of his rig and found the motorcyclist dead at the back of the truck.

"The truck driver was not hurt," says Captain Matt Kirkland. "He said that the impact was so strong that he thought he was hit from behind by another truck."

Officers said there was no indication that drugs or alcohol played a factor in the accident.

There have been a lot of accidents lately, stay safe and ride safe. +75 is for the track, not public roads. Some will say "so what", but ^^^ it's your body.

Like the bad r1 accident in romania,it all comes down to speed on the public roads,Lucky he didnt kill some innocent family or person,as in both accidents the bikes were completely destroyed(indicating fast speeds),imagine one of them coming full noise at you!!. Ride within your limits,not someone else's.
R.I.P.

Man...this is so sad. I live in Tulsa and I heard that his friend got killed on the same highway just a mile or so behind him from a motorcycle wreck the day after his funeral? Thats so sad. I am a biker and this really wakes me up. Hopefully these deaths will prompt others to slow down. RIP. My condolences to the family.

ilovekiayah · 07-12-2007, 9:27 PM

Also, everyone is calling him an idiot...which is dumb. Call him a hero for saving other bikers that see these pictures and slow down because of it. I know I will. Thank you. Thank you for saving me.

No no, he's an idiot alright. If there were no more accidents like this after and as a result of his death, maybe he would be a hero. But in reality he's just another idiot like all the idiots that will crash and die like this in time to come.

It looks like the cause of death (apart from instant deceleration) is a snapped spine. The shoulders and neck have moved forward as the lower chest was kept back.

What is the speed limit on the highway there? 60mph? So if he collided into the rear of a truck at 120 his impact speed would've only been 60.

It looks like he was riding a kwaka. Not that that means anything.

Yeah it's 65 MPH down Highway 169. Not much traffic at 1am. My brother has rode with him a time or two...says he's really good guy...just made a dumb decision.

Jesus Christ, you could have at least put the pics in a link where people have to 'click' on them to see what it is.....that is horrible ! God bless him, and everyone of us who ride for that matter.I didn't enlarge the pic yet, but now i'm going to have to just out of shear curiousity / fear

soupnazi · 07-13-2007, 12:28 AM

It's not that gory. I've seen far worse!

I feel for his family & friends,guy couldve been one of the best mates you know.Did he leave behind a family of his own?Ive got two kids which are the world to me and i know theres plenty of people like me out there,and i always ride within my limits.problem is to many young kids out there can get a high powered machine and have no experience what so ever and go out there and think its all about scraping the knee and high speed.
Indeed he is an idiot,he payed the ultimate price.....RIP
We are not MOTOGP riders and the streets are not race tracks,have fun,enjoy your ride,get out on the track and see how you go,last thing you need is this to happen.
Far from a hero........

steingar · 07-13-2007, 10:34 AM

Any fool can go fast. What makes you a good rider is how fast you can slow down and stop. Good luck out there.

Anyone who dies to save another life is a hero in my book. My cousin died in Iraq...he died saving a little baby...he's a hero. This guy had to die to wake people up. He is a hero.

So anyone else uses a back protector outside the jacket? Just wondering

Edit: nevermind, seems to BE the jacket

F4bill · 07-13-2007, 5:45 PM

He's no hero but he is another reminder of our mortality... hopefully all of you disagreeing on whether or not he's a hero will atleast take that from his death... Ride safe

ilovekiayah · 07-13-2007, 10:57 PM

Okay...who will slow down after seeing these pictures? My brother and all his friends have. I have...my friend has. These pictures are aweful and I hope everyone slows down after seeing them.

D.S · 07-14-2007, 6:25 AM

I will slow down to anything that can potentially kill me. Always have always will. Don't really need pictures to illustrate the obvious, my imagination is good enough. Sorry for him but I can't figure out how this accident could happen to anyone with a minimum of survival instinct..

KJ's RR · 07-14-2007, 5:36 PM

Just came from being @ an accident. Kid was riding a endro on 2 lane rt. Watched him go thru intersection above the speed limit 35mph turned left to my destination & he's on the raod 50' from his bike laying on it side, middle of the road screaming @ WOT. He's trying to get up. Wife was driving had her stop I jump out motion for him to STAY DOWN. Could get to kill switch B4 eng siezed. He has some road rash & was wearing helmet. A car pulled out of the shopping center we were headed to. She kept going, but did stop just up the road. He'll be alright was wearing any other gear but helmet. Hope he learns too slow down. I did tell the police what I saw. I just helped until the medics & police showed up & went my way.

I ride slow already. (most of the time

) I say guys like him won't slow down. If you have friends that speed show them the pictures and see if it makes any difference.

Have Blue · 07-15-2007, 2:39 PM

It will not change how I ride one bit. I dont go slower because I see people riding slowly and I dont speed up if I see a Ricky racer on the road. I pay attention to what I'm doing and ride within my limits. That may or may not be faster than someone else.

As for the "hero" concept, I dont see it that way. His speed exceeded his skill, awareness and reaction level. Dumb move.

jimmyt · 07-15-2007, 2:54 PM

you are right to say it is all about responsibility, and maturity, I crashed at over 100 MPH on the Drag Strip, resulting in zero 0 injuries to me, and was able to ride the bike home 35 miles. This poor guy was addicted to the thing that killed him. Irresponsibly trading his life for some thrill of making the white dashed lines into a steady white line. 120 mph or so, I guess. SPEED KILLS!!
I had a lot of fun going tremendous speeds, and lived to tell about it because I went racing at a race facility. (No Trucks doing 65 in my way!)
Still feel for any family he left behind. I have friends that have been killed- it SUCKS.

Pace187 · 07-15-2007, 4:07 PM

he missed out on that rule of thumb to always follow while rideing, always be aware of your surroundings
