Came upon a crash scene on McVay Hwy, at approximately 5:30pm. The road by LCC that runs parallel to I5, from 30th ave. and merges into Franklin Blvd.
The rider of a late model red Kawasaki zx10r, was removed from the scene on a stretcher. The rider appeared to be alert and responsive. A white male, bald with gray-ish front facial hair. The rider was wearing a red textile jacket, light riding gloves, and a full face helmet.
Witnesses on scene reported that the motorcyclist had rear-ended an SUV. A lightly damaged white Jeep SUV was still on scene, parked just ahead of the downed rider and motorcycle.
Paramedics would not comment on the condition of the rider, but a paramedic placed the rider's wallet in his had, as he was loaded into the ambulance. The rider was able to hold on to the wallet, which was a good sign.
Best wishes to the rider, on a speedy recovery. :angel:
(Out of respect for the rider, no pictures were taken until I determined that the rider was in fair condition and had been removed from the scene.)
The bike sustained front end damage, but did not appear to be leaking fluids. I did not recognize the bike or rider. The most prominent feature of the bike was the exhaust. Perhaps someone will recognize the bike/rider.
I consider myself lucky for not having been involved in a multi-vehicle crash (yet), but sometime it just comes down to luck (whether good or bad).
Heads up out their guys and gals. Be safe.
