Our fire chief sent this out recently.  Thought I'd post here, since there are several other first reponders as well as motorcyclists on this board.  It's amazing how quickly things can turn to shit.

More pics from our chief.  Wreck on I-90 near Deer Lodge - this one is just fascinating.  120 feet of guard rail passed through the right headlight, engine compartment, firewall, glove box, passenger seat, rear seat and exited out the driver's side of the rear window....and no one was injured.

On rails?  It's in rails!

Actually the rail is in it!


This is fascinating.  So glad there were no injuries.  [thumbsup]

Probably full highway speed +/-.  The driver was heading back to college. He had left central Washington early in the morning. He fell asleep at the wheel and drifted off the shoulder hitting the end of the section of guard rail that led up to a rural overpass.  Imagine waking up with guard rail flying past your cheek.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Sorry, I don't know anything about the outcome.  I also wonder if the LEO was in the patrol car since we don't see one in the video.
