Angeles Crest Motorcycle Accident Report - 6/15/08

So Cal Sportbikes Forum member Roland crashed his Ninja 250 heading up Angeles Crest Hwy. It was bad enough that they closed the road down to airlift him out. Here, Alfred is warned not to leave because of the road closure, and Earl explains what he saw at the scene.

I've heard this story a million different times and in a million different versions - and it's never good to hear. Be careful out there everyone!
