Fatal Accident Kills 2 Men On Motorbikes
Fri, July 25, 2014
There has been a fatal accident on the Northern Highway. It happened just before 6:00 this evening at mile 7 on the Northern Highway. Our team is currently on the scene, and all we can confirm at this time is that two persons are dead after a head on collision involving a motorcycle and a BTB pickup. Traffic on the highway is completely blocked so the traffic jam on this Friday evening currently stretches for miles.

Mike Rudon, Ch 5
"Sir could you give me an idea of what you saw? I know that you were right behind the accident when it happened."

Eye Witness
"I saw the cycle fly passed me and hit into a black truck on the side of the road. When it hit the black truck it cut away right into a BTB vehicle and right up in the air and flat on the ground."

Mike Rudon, Ch 5
"It seems that the BTB truck was on its side just from looking at it. Was the cycle overtaking or did it lose control when it knock the black vehicle?"

Eye Witness
"It overtake the black truck and hit the mirror on the black truck and then it went over to the left and the BTB truck look like it was trying to get out of the way off the road, but it still hit him."

Mike Rudon, Ch 5
"Could you tell from what you saw if death was instantaneous from the cycle?"

Eye Witness
"When the thing happen, I got out of my car and the one in the middle of road looks like he was dead, but the one on the fence was breathing for a while and then he stops and then we thought that he must have died too."

Mike Rudon, Ch 5
"I guess it massive head and body injuries."

Eye Witness
"The one on the road, his whole face looks like it got torn off, he was face down and blood was coming out. The next one on the side over there didn't look like he was burst up but it looks like his feet were broken up."

Mike Rudon, Ch 5
"About what time you say that this happen?"

Eye Witness
"Around 5:30 I would say because I was i Publics about 5:17 and I came straight up."

Reporter
"How fast were they going?"

Eye Witness
"I don't know. They just fly pass me fast. I wouldn't be a person to say how fast they were going. I would say that I don't know."

We'll have more on this double fatality later on in the newscast.
