Those firefighters and first responders who aid in these horrific scenes of human carnage pay a price for their years of exposures… Hats off and kudos to the people who place themselves where the rubber meets the road on a daily basis. Look at the face of the firefighter in the picture- It tells it all.
The front-end of the on-coming car is destroyed by the impact of these motorcycles, both of which were probably passing in a no-passing double yellow zone. Who would have guessed that they would collide with an unseen oncoming car? Duh! The On-going Story of the Dangers of Driving on 154.
Holy crap, that looks awful. I hope they recover. Did both hit the car at the same time? I avoid the 154 like the plague for this reason.
They didn’t keep the rubber down and the shiny side up.
