How fast was this guy going????
June 12, 2006
LINDEN, Pa. - A speeding motorcycle slammed into a van, knocking it on its side and sparking an explosion that killed all four people inside and the motorcyclist, police said.
State police said the van was turning off Route 220 when the motorcycle hit it Sunday afternoon with so much force it broke through the side of the van and knocked it over, said state police spokesman Mike Knight.
"If you look at the burned-out van, in between two seats in the van is a burned out motorcycle," he said.
The victims in the van — a man, two women and a child — are all believed to be members of the same family. The motorcyclist was a man believed to be in his early 20s, and police were investigating the possibility that there was another motorcyclist traveling with the one that crashed, Knight said.
The crash was near an entrance to the Medieval Majesty Renaissance Faire, which opened over the weekend in central Pennsylvania.

Good God Man!
It's devastating to think that someone being irresponsible on a bike can take out a whole family, but on the surface it seems that's what's happened here. I would never have dreamed this could happen outside of the movies!
My heart goes out to all involved.

That is a horrible thing to happen. Due to the squid motorcycling gets a black eye. People need to use their heads. May their souls rest in peace? To answer the question of how fast he must have been going well into the triple digits to cause such damage.

Regardless of any other circumstances, he was traveling way too fast, especially at the entrance to an event. I can't help but wonder though, if the van pulled out in front of him.

Of course it did, but if he was doin 150+ you wouldn't see him when pulling out anyhow. 1/4mile in ~7 seconds
