On September 7, 2009 I was going Rt. 100 westbound to get to Ellicott City around 7pm. Snowden River Pkwy exit usually is the one with some traffic but that day...it was a real traffic! Was anybody else there? Or actually witnessed it?

At first I thought it was construction going on or something... but then they blocked off ALL lanes and made all cars to take a detour through Snowden Exit and so many police cars. Something happened but I didn't know what was going on. I'm not high tech or anything so I had to wait till I come home and found out that there was a really bad motorcycle accident that killed a guy and one in shock trauma. Both were riding motorcycles and collided. It must have been a really bad scene since they blocked about a mile of Rt. 100.

If you are from Maryland living around Rt. 100 area (I'm sure it happens everywhere though...) so many motorcycles are out there just zooming by 'between' cars and we have to do defensive driving whenever the weather is nice. I mean there are people who are cruising by which I don't mind, but some motorcycles really do drive dangerously. I get tense if I'm anywhere around those reckless ones.

One of the guys who got in an accident was 'ejected'...EJECTED!
I think everyone seems to know at least one or two lives lost by motorcycle accident...especially young lives...that's why I am against anyone close to me riding a motorcycle...it's just so sad...

I hope at least the other guy is okay. People say motorcycle accident survivors...it's not that pretty at all...but hopefully he's okay. I know it's all for thrills and all but hopefully motorcyclers would be less reckless for everybody including themselves.
