The cycle can be seen with it's tail light still shining (photo one below). The CareFlight crew and assist in packaging the cycle rider for transport to Miami Valley (center). He had lost consciousness a couple times. Firefighters and medics move the victim to the waiting chopper (right). ETA to Miami Valley 10-12 mins. Chopper landed just behind Arby's.

  1. I'm a good friend of the car driver, just wanted to throw in there that the motorcycle did run the stop sign and hit the car.

  2. I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK U TO ALL THE POLICE EMTS ON SITE THAT HELPED MY HUSBAND WHO IS THE MOST CAUTIOUS CYCLIST YOU'LL EVER MEET. THE STOP SIGNS WERE VERY CONFUSING AT THE TIME AND NO INTENT ON HIS PART WAS EVER MADE TO JUST RUN IT AS PUT BY JM. WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE TO COME AWAY UNHARMED OTHER THAN BUMPS AND BRUISES. WE APOLOGIZE PROFUSELY TO THE LADY IN RED CAR FOR ANY UPSET CAUSED TO HER, AND THANK ALL THAT STOPPED TO HELP.

  3. I am so happy to hear you were not hurt bad! I hope you were wearing a helmet and will continue to do so. That intersection should be a three way stop at the very least.

  4. I meant no blame, I just know how some jump to conclusions about cars running over motorcycles because they are not paying attention. I am very glad your husband is okay. I wish him a speedy recovery and hope he's back riding soon.
