WOW! I read this on a motorcycle forum, I never thought anyone would know the person! What a small world.


RIP rider

Was he killed by the lightning or the crash?

Would/could lightning make a crater like that AFTER passing thru a person?

Probably the crash. Usually when people die of electrocution, it's because their heart stops. But in this case, he crashed into a divider before he could die from lack of blood.

It probably knocked him out instantly and he never knew what hit him.

I heard the story before this post, and I just can't believe the odds that this happened AND someone on a forum I use knew the person!

Electricity is funny stuff...one guy can get hit by lightning multiple times and survive, another can hit a wire in his house and die. And a bunch of people standing in a line making contact can get shocked, and it will kill the last guy in line without harming the others...
