Biker down in DFW
« on: July 16, 2009, 06:27:41 AM »
You see these guys all the time on Dallas freeways, weaving in and out at incredible speeds.  Each time I see one I say a quick prayer for him.

GP Man Killed In High Speed Motorcycle Crash
 
A Grand Prairie man has died in a very high-speed motorcycle crash in Dallas overnight. Granville Boddie was killed when his speeding motorcycle smashed into the back of a big rig on I-45 near Ledbetter. The 44-year-old Boddie died at the scene from multiple traumatic injuries and debris from the crash was spread over a wide area. Witnesses told police that they saw the motorcycle going very, very fast and weaving in and out of traffic for miles before the final impact.

Sorry to hear about someone loosing the life in a crash! The biggest thing that is sad about all of it, is that the family are the ones that get hurt the most. At 44 he should of known better!  :(

Every once in a while I forget my age and do something stupid. Then I remember the scares on my body and the worried look on family and friends when I did something like this. I  pray for those who did not learn. Prayers to the family.

I drive a big truck to Dallas everyday. Most of the time it's in the 5:00 traffic and you always see the sport bikes weaving in and out of traffic. I can't see them out of my mirrors, and it bothers me when i change lanes. So if your near a big truck make sure they can see you. Thanks
