Distraction, recklessness or negligence may have caused the wreck that occurred recently on Cummings Highway. A black four-door car with a blue bumper sticker was said to have fled the scene after veering into the motorcycle’s lane, causing its riders to be thrown from the bike and into a guardrail. The motorcycle driver was killed, and the passenger was airlifted to a hospital and is reportedly in critical condition but is stable.
There were alleged witnesses to the accident; ones that were able to give the discerning features of the other vehicle involved. When that vehicle’s owner is identified, it is likely that a thorough investigation will commence to identify who was driving, the state of the driver and what the driver was doing at the time of the accident that may have factored into the wreck.
