Default THe Dragon Bites

This came from the Deals Gap site. Todays entry.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

""t's Sunday, and I am tired. It was a very late night last night, with a bit of craziness. At about 5-ish, there was a bike on bike wreck at Crud Corner, the first big turn north of the state line at the bottom of the hill. It seems that two bikes hit head on in the turn, with one bike leaving all of its oil in the road. The woman on one of the bikes seems to have dislocated her shoulder. The other rider was fine. While we were sitting there waiting for the police, one of the ladies' friends decided to go off and get their trailer from the hotel in Maryville to make it all go quicker. Well, he made it to Hatchers and got taken out by a local guy in a car. So now, we are sitting there at the first wreck scene, and a guy pulls up asking for the girl. He then proceeds to tell her that her buddy got taken out, is in bad shape, and on the way to the hospital himself. Long story short, Blount County comes out, writes a report for the fallen riders, and off I go to take her to the hospital. What an experience
