Woman Walking for the First Time After Motorcycle Accident Killed by a Car
Shortly after, authorities and organizers appeared to be confused over a second accident involving another biker and his female passenger, who were killed when they were run over by a big rig. The crash happened in the same location, just about an hour after the first accident, Cracraft said. The lingering traffic from the first crash may have played a role in their deaths, he said. "I don't know if they were trying to catch up with the pack," Cracraft said. "They were splitting traffic on the 3 and 4 lane and got tangled by a big rig and got run over." The names of the victims were not available Sunday night. Love Ride Foundation is a nonprofit founded in 1984 by Oliver Shokouh.
