Veering over the center line into oncoming traffic can have dire consequences, as a horrific accident involving at least 10 motorcycles shows.
Recently, a 25-year-old man from Hilbert caused a catastrophic motorcycle accident that resulted in the death of two men and critically injured two others. They were all members of the “Muskegon Motorcycle Gang.”
Late last month, the man was traveling on Highway 151 around 3 p.m. and crossed the center line, crashing into a group of 12 motorcyclists who were taking part in the annual Bridge Run. Motorcyclists ride this same route every year, with the route running over the Mackinac Bridge. At the time of the accident, the bikers were traveling through Taycheedah, Wisconsin, between Gladstone Beach Roach and Willing Beach Road.
When the man crashed into the biker group, only two of the 12 motorcyclists managed to escape from being tangled in the accident. A 59-year-old man from out of state died at the scene. Another who was critically injured died several days later. Two other men, who were also from another state, were listed in critical condition and were being treated at the Neenah medical facility after the tragic accident.
The man who hit the group was charged with second-degree reckless homicide and felony bail jumping. He was also charged with three counts of second-degree reckless injury and second-degree reckless endangerment. Media sources report that because a second man died, another count of reckless homicide will be added to the charges.
