bamarider Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I was travelling home yesterday morning from several great days of riding up in the WNC mountains when I came upon a serious looking crash in one of the tight curves just south of the Coker Creek community. Don't know any detials, just what I was told by a bystander that was helping direct traffic. He said someone had contacted 911, there were several folks assisting victims and directing traffic, so I didn't stop. When I was waved thru there was one rider laying face down in the road with someone attending to him. That really put a damper on the end of my trip to see a fellow rider in that condition, I hope & pray that he's ok. If anyone that lives in the area hears any news please let me know.

bigorangecntry07 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Honestly surprised you didn't see more. When I was out there last month, I saw 3 wrecks on a Sunday, one sport bike on the Cherohala, and two full dresser harleys (we all know they can't turn) one on 28 near Fontana Dam and another on Tail of the Dragon, 129.... All in corners, don't think any were seriously injured but first responders were already on scene for all wrecks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamarider Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 There were 2 bikes involved in this wreck, so afraid it may have been a head on collision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockinsv Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Wow, I just got home from that area. I spent a week in Tellico Plains and rode through Coker Creek quite a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member micah2074 Posted June 19, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted June 19, 2019 That’s part of my go to loop. I ride that stretch a few times a month. Thankfully there aren’t many crashes on it. 1 Let’s go Brandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamarider Posted June 23, 2019 Author Share Posted June 23, 2019 Well its been a week now and I haven't found anything on this accident, I even called pandoras motorsports in Chattanooga because one of the bikes was bmw rs 1200. So im hoping that it wasn't as serious as it looked and there wasn't a serious injury or fatality. Everyone ride safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
