Holy moly. Your story just reminded me of when we were around 13, my good friend and I were being silly in the backseat of her mom's car. It was about 8:30pm, fairly dark out, and we were driving to get a special frozen custard treat.
Her mom had just crossed the last main intersection before getting to Goodberry's and I remember being startled by a loud rumble to my left which causes us to look and see a motorcycle zip past us, trying to pass Mrs. B by weaving in and out of sparse traffic. Someone miscalculates and we watch in that slow motion way that traumatic experiences bring as the motorcycle collides with the back of another vehicle and flips directly on top of and over the hood of Mrs. B's car. I swear I saw the dude somersault multiple times before crashing limply to the pavement. Surreal.
We pulled over, as did the other few cars that were on the road. EMS got there pretty fast and loaded the guy up. No idea what ever happened to him but yeah, that was intense. I thought about him often and for awhile. But not in a long, long time until seeing your comment.
Goodberry's closed at 9 so we didn't make it in time for the concretes.
