    That's true,by the looks of the bike you would think the kid would have been pretty mangled no blood on the trk either.Sad for the family and friends of the deceased.Hate hearing things like this,a kid not really even starting his life and cut short because of what kids his age calls fun.

    fact: The kid died instantly, it's on record with the State of OK. The rig was probably doing 60-65mph, he was doing 120ish in the same direction, speed of actual impact was 60-65mph taking these factors into consideration. The motorcycle would have rolled and smashed down the road so it would look real bad. It is a very old incident, not new.

    Idiots on motorcycles don't live long. I think Darwin wrote that.

    My CDL instructor showed us this during our classroom portion of school. That was in 2008. I see alot of guys out doing stunts going down the interstate. I believe it's real.

    The only thing that's not true is that he survived the accident oddly related tragedy occurred about five days later when a riding buddy of his, 21-year-old Devin Seigal (who had attended Mr. White's funeral), died while riding his motorcycle at an estimated 120+ mph.

    No matter how old the video, what a tragedy. I too thought I was immortal. My epiphany happened when I came off my bike at a high rate of speed. I was very lucky to have survived. Like me, some of these guys just don't get it. It ends up being a hard lesson learned. And I learned!

    If this happened to me... I would have began CPR. I am not a doctor. I am not authorized to issue a death certificate. I would have taken any means necessary to revive the young man until EMS arrived to take over resuscitation. I am surprised that nobody else mentioned this... what would you have done..? I believe there is liability involved if you don't help; I believe it's called, "good Samaritan laws." I can't believe the driver just probably stood there and assumed he was dead.

    Yes, yes, I know in these situations it's possible to incur additional injuries if the victim is moved... but it's a matter of life and death.

    No amount of CPR will ever revive Annie.
