reading is fundamental

maybe they upgraded his condition

5/12/2009 8:22:25 PM

i haven't checked wral/golo yet...but i'm assuming those idiots have found some way to tie this accident to the abortion debate

5/12/2009 8:23:40 PM

how do you go from a torso and legs in the road to serious condition??

5/12/2009 8:23:45 PM

Bring out yer dead.
[a man puts a body on the cart]
Here's one.
That'll be ninepence.
I'm not dead.
What?
Nothing. There's your ninepence.
I'm not dead.
'Ere, he says he's not dead.
Yes he is.
I'm not.
He isn't.
Well, he will be soon, he's very ill.
I'm getting better.
No you're not, you'll be stone dead in a moment.
Well, I can't take him like that. It's against regulations.
I don't want to go on the cart.
Oh, don't be such a baby.
I can't take him.
I feel fine.
Oh, do me a favor.
I can't.
Well, can you hang around for a couple of minutes? He won't be long.
I promised I'd be at the Robinsons'. They've lost nine today.
Well, when's your next round?
Thursday.
I think I'll go for a walk.
You're not fooling anyone, you know. Isn't there anything you could do?
I feel happy. I feel happy.
[the Dead Collector glances up and down the street furtively, then silences the Body with his a whack of his club]
Ah, thank you very much.
Not at all. See you on Thursday.
Right.

MANY THANKS TO THE FAMILY TRAVELING HOME TO AKRON OHIO, THE YOUNG LADY, OFF DUTY PARAMEDIC AND THE YOUNG STUDENT, WHO WAS THE LIFESAVER. WE WILL BE PRAYING TONIGHT FOR HAROLD, PLS. JOIN US"

evidently there were legs in the road

The news didn't release the name, but the person posting that comment did, I decided not to.

5/13/2009 12:14:25 AM

Holy shit, props to the dude for keeping alive with bloody stumps sticking out of his waist.

5/13/2009 12:15:54 AM

contrary to the recent hatred towards trauma tourniquets, they do have their place and this is a perfect example. probably the thing that saved this dudes life.

5/13/2009 12:48:39 AM

i was the one who saw it....i passed by it literally seconds after it happened.

im not gonna lie, it was probably the worst thing i've ever seen.

according to the news, he survived but later this evening died

Quote :

" According to authorities, the driver of the motorcycle, a Fort Bragg soldier, was ejected off of the motorcycle. The soldier later died at the hospital around 8 p.m. The name of the victim is not being released until the family is notified. Authorities say charges against the car's driver are pending."

5/13/2009 2:03:57 AM

poor guy....i dont know how he survived the crash for as long as he did

5/13/2009 2:06:21 AM

Today, we are all dudes who had our legs torn off.

if you read the article, every lane of 40 was closed (both directions) except for the far right lane of 40E. probably because it was so horrific that they didn't want the people taking 40E to see it.

I know how you feel... When I was a sophomore I passed by a wreck where a stupid fuckin drunk driver (STILL drunk at 7 am) caused this woman to flip her mini-van... she was thrown from the car but it ended up landing where half the tire was on her skull What pisses me off the most is that sooo many people passed by when it first happened and didn't do ANYTHING.

I don't think you'll ever be able to get those images out of your mind, something like that stays with you forever

this is quite sad indeed.

5/13/2009 9:43:40 AM

did the driver of the car merge into the motorcycle rider?

5/13/2009 10:00:52 AM

the WRAL article last night said the driver of the car over-corrected and swerved into the motorcycle. as in, motorcyle rider was doing nothing wrong.

tragic

" Charges filed in crash that killed Fort Bragg soldier Posted: May. 14, 2009 Updated: Today at 11:29 a.m. Cary, N.C. — The N.C. Highway Patrol charged Anas Dahabi, 25, with misdemeanor death by motor vehicle in the wreck that shut down Interstate 40 Tuesday afternoon and claimed the life of a soldier stationed at Fort Bragg. Dahabi was driving his Volkswagen Jetta, troopers said, when he sideswiped a motocycle being ridden by Harold Boyd III, 36, of 4633 Morning Star Lane in Hope Mills. Boyd died as a result of the injuries he sustained. A highway patrol spokesman said two other vehicles were involved in the wreck. No one else was injured. "

i hate dumbasses who don't check their blind spots before changing lanes.

5/15/2009 3:09:58 PM

I was stuck in this mess for 45 minutes driving my pops to the airport.

I checked my fire pager after seeing the traffic and sure enough, Motorcycle Accident w/ Injuries. After seeing about 7 troopers roll by in the shoulder on my left I gave up and took Harrison Ave. Good thing I did.

Also, if you're driving along and see something like this, don't rubberneck. The EB lanes were blocked for a long time, and there was *nothing* to see.

"Oooooh, cops with spraycans, very exciting! Let me slow down and drive by at 3mph on a highway."

The 4 WB lanes were closed down to 1 on the right side of the road (furthest from the median). Traffic on the EB lanes were also at a standstill but there were no lane closures...I hate rubberneckers.

5/15/2009 3:29:03 PM

^i'm sorry sir, you are mistaken. all lanes were shut down on the westbound side, and all lanes except for the far right lane were shut down on the eastbound side.

from one of the articles linked farther up:

Quote :

"Authorities had to close down all the westbound lanes of Interstate 40 between the Harrison Ave and Aviation Pkwy exits. Only the far right eastbound lane was open to traffic until around 5 p.m., when the westbound and eastbound lanes were reopened to commuters."

5/15/2009 3:31:39 PM

Dunno what to tell you. My father had a 4:45 flight.

I was on 40WB near exit 287-Harrison Ave for 30 minutes before I gave up. When I took the exit/overpass (again stuck), I could clearly that they had one lane of traffic open on the WB side (the side where the accident was, they had closed the 3 lanes closest to the median) and that there were no closures on the EB side, but that it was backed up West of the accident (towards the airport) for several miles.

So I can tell you that they had the EB lanes open at around 4p, but that they were not moving because of stupid rubberneckers. I can also tell you that there was one WB lane open at around 4p.

WRAL has been wrong before, and I was there, stuck in the midst of it.

ok
