heard bout that one awhile back. but after a week of that happened i had a friend crashed at the same place but only he was on the bottom so he escaped w/a broken arm and wist.
accident.. watch those high curved ramps..
i was browsing the news archives here in houston looking for a old article and found this.. i ran across another article from the local paper and it said there the bike skid about 100m from the momentum.. that sucks..
kinda freaky.. i rolled my 4runner on the entrance of this ramp back in 2001.. police said from the looks of my skid marks my 4runner rode the rail about 40m b4 rolling.. i walked away scratchfree.. anyway.. i live 3 minutes from this freeway intersection now and i ride the curves on a daily basis...
