5 dead

Driver sought in motorcycle crashes that killed 5 - FoxNews.com

The crash occurred shortly before 1 p.m. as an eastbound gold Honda Accord went into the oncoming lane to pass about a dozen motorcycles, some of them carrying two people, authorities said. That maneuver forced a westbound Dodge Avenger sedan to swerve on to the sandy shoulder to avoid a head-on collision.

Stanton said at that point the westbound car veered back across the road and into the cyclists.

"He lost control and then his vehicle just drove into the group of motorcycles," he said.

The Honda making the pass that triggered the accident was not damaged and did not stop.

"They're looking for that car and the driver," Stanton said. "He didn't stop, he kept going, he fled the scene."

Damn.

Strung Out
Glad I missed it.

When this link was read to me my first reaction was 'group, twisties, tight formation, lead man went down, hit a moose, slow truck, whatever, and it was biker bowling pin theatre.' When I got to read all the details, I got kinda sick. Not that one way of 5 dead is all that better. Just more appealing, I guess, if they killed themselves riding hard and having fun rather than being, in essence, slaughtered.

SUX.
