one of my friends died the other night in a horric accident. she was going down i40 into asheville nc when she stood up on the back of the bike and fell off. there was am 18 wheeler behind her and that was all she wrote. i saw her 2 hours earier and hugged said hello, my boyz asked me to go ridding with them that night but i was to busy getting my game face on with some hot girl there. its such a messed up story becuase of how it happend and how violent it ended.. everyone be a little more careful with individuals on the back, sometimes we forget how easy it is for things like this to happen. please every be a little more carefull these days!!!

Deadly Accident
A deadly accident in Buncombe County shuts down part of Interstate 40 Wednesday morning.


Troopers say 20 year old Rachael Ledford of Leicester, a passenger on a motorcycle, fell off the bike. They say she was possibly struck by a following motorist. The accident happened in the westbound lanes between the Candler exit and the East Canton exit around 1:00 am. Crews say the Interstate could be shut down for several more hours. The Highway Patrol is detouring traffic so drivers heading that way must get off at the Enka Candler exit and take 19/23 the back way to Canton.

Jesus, that's very very very not good...

Ok, lesson to be learned for everyone here, myself included, assume your passengers are clueless and tell them what not to do when they're riding aboard.

RIP, her poor parents, this is terrible...
