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.

The man, in his 20s, was allegedly driving a motorcycle carrying a female pillion passenger when a police patrol heading the opposite direction noticed the driver had no helmet. After turning around to try to find the rider, the motorcycle took off and reportedly passed another police patrol, which clocked it at 160km/h.

He said the rider had no motorcycle licence and was a disqualified driver, and the bike was not registered or warranted. Sgt Lauer said a range of charges were pending.
