Then again, with the "helmets" that they are likely wearing here (toy pudding bowls), it probably wouldn't have made a whole lot of difference. | |

So if they ran into the back of the car.....that means they either did not have enough distance between them and the car or their reaction time was not fast enough which then should tell them......"hey i should give more room" If all else fails........"LOOK AHEAD" |

At the same time, the full story is not presented..If it was a road rage situation or something where the driver just locked up his breaks for no reason at all..then the driver would be at fault. | |

| Superbiker | I was on the North bound 5 in the center lane and Im guessing 30 Harleys or more went by me in the fast lane and then about a few miles down the freeway traffic came to a stop and about 15 cars or so up I could see something was going on . When I went by I could see 15 to 20 bikes im guessing scattered all over the freeway made me sick to my stomach, there were already people on there cell phones calling and I was in a armored truck so I couldnt really pull over if I wanted to. Very sad : ( my prayers go out to all involved . |

I sure hope for the drivers sake, it was a legitimate accident and not aggression. Best wishes for the riders involved. | |

| Training Wheels Joined: Jul 2009 From: tualatin,oregon I Ride: like I stole it | 26 brother speed motorcycle crash Excerpt from CLACKAMAS COUNTY NEWS http://www.oregonlive.com/clackamasc...ing_multi.html "WILSONVILLE -- Traffic on Interstate 5 north remains backed up for miles after crash a involving about 26 motorcycles from the Brother Speed outlaw motorcycle club. The crash occured about 2:45 p.m. at milepost 282 south of Wilsonville. All northbound lanes were closed for about an hour. All lanes reopened shortly before 6 p.m., but officials traffic remained backed up or congested in both north and south lanes. "When we arrived on scene, it was ordered mayhem," said Lt. Mike Towner of Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue. "There were ... two dozen motorcycles scattered across the freeway." Two bikers with critical injuries were flown by LifeFlight helicopter ambulances to Legacy Emanuel Hospital & Health Center and OHSU Hospital in Portland. Seven other crash victims with less serious injuries were taken by ambulance. Why Brother Speed was on the road and where they were going was not known. Lt. Gregg Hastings, Oregon State Police spokesman, said 26 motorcycles were traveling north in the left lane, following a car, when traffic ahead began slowing. The car and the bikers all tried to slow down, but collided, piling up on the road. A vehicle in the middle northbound lane was reportedly struck by one of the motorcycles, Hastings said. State troopers rushed to the crash scene, along with crews from the Oregon Department of Transportation, Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue, American Medical Response and fire departments from Canby, Aurora and St. Paul. Karen Eubanks, TVF&R spokeswoman, said seven crash victims were treated for shoulder and hip injuries and broken bones. Two other patients were treated but refused to go to a hospital. Police estimate membership of the Brother Speed Motorcycle Club at more than 100 in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana and Utah. The club, founded in 1969, is one of six in Oregon identified by the state Department of Justice as an outlaw biker gang. Members of the club wear black and gold colors that depict a grinning, winged skull wearing a helmet and motorcycle goggles. The bulk of the club's Oregon membership meet at clubhouses in Portland and Hillsboro, according to law enforcement sources. "BROTHER SPEED M/C is a club that is serious about brotherhood, respect, riding fast and building choppers," the club writes on its Oregon Web site. "We build the most bad ass choppers around." |

| Training Wheels Joined: Aug 2009 From: Beaverton, OR I Ride: 09' Honda CBR 600RR | Just drove by. There are skid marks in the middle and left lanes for about three quarters of a block. No matter what happened or who was at fault, whether they were Harley's or not, these are still human lives. I hope everyone survives. |
