Wow... My thoughts and prayers are with your friend... [&o] I had an old USCG friend back around 1981 or so who got whacked on the highway, heading out towards Long Island, NY. All these years, decades, later if you ask him about it, all he remembers is a light brown Chevy Chevelle... [&:] He ended up getting medically retired by the USCG as he was never the same again. Word has it he went over the handlebars, landed on his head (helmet saved his life), rolled over and skidded down the highway on his back and butt. [:'(]
