I witnessed two motorcycle accidents and came upon the aftermath of another. Not nice at all.
I was right behind a guy who had a car pull out in front of him in Port Allen going North on LA 1. We had just went through a green light at Court Street and at the next entrance onto LA1 a lady pulled right out in front of the guy.
All he could do was stand on the pegs. As the bike hit the car he flew head first ( actually head first) into the side of the car on side of the top and his body kept going and he flipped over that car and tumbled lifelessly down the pavement on the other side of the car. There was absolutely nothing he could have done to avoid that car.
It happened in the blink of an eye. I stopped and began to get out of my car and heard a girl screaming and running to the guy's body crying out his name followed quickly by other people. There was obviously nothing I could add to the situation so I went on about my way. I never found out who that was.
Another dude had a flat on the front going about 65 merging onto I-110 North. He couldn't steer and went straight into the guardrail and flew into the air with his body spinning violently like a helicopter and landed on the guardrail and bounced on it grotesquely several times.
I stopped and ran up to him and he was still conscious and told me he had a flat. I heard sirens coming and people were congregating so I backed off and left. There had to be someone there that could help him more than I could.
The third one was on the pavement all broken up after he had someone pull out on him just like the guy in PA. I was just a little kid on my bicycle for that one.
Needless to say although I love motorcycles and think they're really cool I have absolutely no desire to get out on the road with 3 ton vehicles and more especially now with people so distracted by their electronic devices.
No fricking way.

Honestly, I don't want to read your story after reading this opening.
A friend of mine who worked fire and rescue for years told me a story about responding to the scene of a motorcycle wreck. He said he went to pick up the rider's helmet, but it wasn't just the helmet.

I don't know how people ride motorcycles around Houston, your time is coming on those damn roads.

Agree with you. What is a normal fender bender between two cars could be death if it's car vs motorcycle. Wanted to be a paramedic in my younger days then talked to one and he mentioned a few motorcycle accidents they drove up on. After that i said no thanks.

After a lifetime of riding motorcycles, I quit due to all the idiots on there “devices”. Was dangerous enough before, but device distraction put me out on motorcycling.
