Hey everyone, I was hoping that you could send some prayers up for the friends and familes of a few people for me.
Friday morning when we were pulling out of The Lumber Yard, we saw something on fire. Here we saw it was the tractor trailer that pulled out of the same place about a minute before us. Then we noticed there was a street bike underneath of it on fire, which caught the tractor trailer on fire. Then I look right in front of us, and about 10' straight in front of us is the driver of the bike laying in the middle of the road dead. His head was laying in a puddle of blood, and I think his legs were gone from knees down. He was 29 years old. He was speeding and didn't see the tractor trailer pulling out and ran right into/underneath the back of it. He was killed instantly. I've never seen anything like that in person before, and my dad and I were so sick in the stomach. Hopefully I won't have to see anything like that ever again.
Then yesterday.. a good friend of mine who races the women's gncc's, her brother was killed yesterday. He lost control of his vehicle and rolled it. He was only 20 years old. The passenger was taken to the hospital but is expected to be ok. To make it worse on her and her mom, their dad was killed just a few years ago on a motorcycle. She lost a brother, a friend, and a mechanic.
I've never had to deal with deaths like this before. Could you all please keep the truck driver, the biker's friends and family, and my friends family and friends in your prayers. I would grately appreciate it if you could do that not only for me, but for everyone else, too. They are in great need of them.
Please wear your seatbelt while in a vehicle and be very cautious while on a bike. You never know what could happen. I know I will never drive without a seatbelt, and I won't be getting a bike for a long time, if ever.
May God bless ALL of you. Rest In Peace. You are both in a better place in Heaven now.
