Default 120 on a bike into a truck ...

My apologies if this is a repeat.

A truck was traveling down the highway at around 1 o'clock in the morning near Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Motorcyclist was traveling at ~120 mph and ran into the back of the moving semi-truck.

Truck driver said he felt the impact, and it took almost a 1/4 mile for him to pull over.

The email these came in claims he lived.

He died. This happened not too far from my house. Posting the pictures though is pretty poor taste.

I heard about this a while ago.

I'm not offended by this but others might be. Put up a warning.

Oh, god.. that's some tragic accident.
I wonder if that truck driver was at fault.
RIP, rider.

How can someone claim the motorcyclist lived when he's hanging by his neck from the back of a truck? I mean, seriously, do people stop and take pictures when someone is still alive in such a situation?
