Default Motorcycle accident

Here these riders were doing their civic-duty and ended up on Shock Trauma.

Update 8/27 it was a husband and wife riding the scoots. Wife released from hospital, husband still in critical condition with head and face injuries.

Three injured in Route 50 crash

BROADNECK - Three people were injured in a multiple-vehicle crash yesterday afternoon on westbound Route 50 that tied up traffic in both directions for more than an hour, Maryland State Police said.

At 2:30 p.m. a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, a Yamaha motorcycle, and a Cadillac were pulled over so the drivers could exchange information after a fender bender that had just happened near the Severn River Bridge.

The bikers had taken their helmets off and stood next to their bikes, while the driver of the Cadillac left through the passenger side of his car to avoid the passing traffic, police said.

A woman driving a Honda Accord veered off the roadway, struck a guardrail, and crashed into the two motorcycles and the two bikers. The impact sent the motorcycles into the back of the Cadillac.

The driver of the Harley, identified as a man, 59, was flown to Maryland Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore with life-threatening head injuries, said Battalion Chief Matthew Tobia, a county Fire Department spokesman.

The woman, 57, the driver of the Yamaha, was taken by ambulance to the shock trauma center with serious injuries; and the woman who drove the Honda was taken to Anne Arundel Medical Center in Parole with minor injuries. The driver of the Cadillac was not injured.

The driver of the Honda told state police she "blacked out" while traveling west on Route 50. Two lanes of westbound Route 50 and one eastbound lane were closed for more than an hour.

I hope the guy is ok. Terrible news. That lady who "blacked out" really needs to get checked out and review if she should drive a car if that sort of thing could happen again.

If she was doing something else it would be far better to admit then saying she blacked out. You can lose your license indefinitely for blacking out behind the wheel in some states. It is also why you should never admit to falling asleep behind the wheel.

She probably blacked out from her eyes being too squinty. Sorry if that offends anyone, but I'm here in chonger land too long and I've never seen worse driving. Also being from the great area of the Capitol Beltway and Rt 50, drivers suck. Period.

Either that or her fcking turban fell infront of her eyes...

Sorry, been drinking, dont really care for bad drivers or middle easterners. Anybody that can claim racism because you're from there BUT YET you're the first people to blow some **** up. Very frustrating. Pick a side and stick with it, but this ***** sht of IEDs has got to go. Fight like a man or surrender......unless you're from India - thank your for helping me with my computer problems.

If I offended you with that remark...fck off and kick rocks. I just lost a friend (again) to an IED and found out mom's got cancer. So yeah, ****ty day and week. You got issues, PM me.
