I'm Floored Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 We have another bad accident on Cartersville Hwy. @ Old Cartersville Rd. I know there was a motorcycle involved, and first responders have advised severe injuries. A helicopter is on standby. Start praying, folks. Link to post Share on other sites
I'm Floored Posted August 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 It's very hard to hear some of the officers on scene. Now they're advising Old Cartersville between Bone Circle & Hwy 381. I believe I heard near Johnson Ridge subdivision. They've asked for help 10-18 (quickly.) Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Oscar Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Prayers said for those involved. I happened to be pulling into the Publix to get some grocery shopping done when the bird was hovering/attempting to land. All kinds of emergency vehicles were already there.

jerimurdock@tugtech.com Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Anyone got an update? This is so horrible. Link to post Share on other sites
I'm Floored Posted August 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 I never heard anymore. I don't know if they changed frequencies, or what, but I never heard the helicopter landing, or anything further. I am praying for the bike rider and his family. I could tell by the voices of those on the scene that it was very bad. Link to post Share on other sites
jerimurdock@tugtech.com Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Horrible. The roads need some lines again out our way. And I am afraid that we are going to see more & more of this w/ people getting bikes to save $$ on gas. Prayers for the cyclist & family. Link to post Share on other sites
stustrick Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 I spoke with an officer at lunch today. He said the man had head trauma and was awake. I hope along with all the work and repaving the county is doing on Old Cartersville; they have thought to build up the sides of the road! We have had so many deaths on our road!!! And I think some may have been saved if there was not such a drop off! My thoughts are with the man who did wreck today. Link to post Share on other sites
