The Tennessee Highway Patrol says at least two wrecks happened around the same time this afternoon on the popular stretch of US-129 known as ‘The Dragon.’
US129photos.com photographer David Allison captured one motorcyclist crash into an ambulance en route to treating another motorcycle crash victim.
“I thought he was going to go up underneath the ambulance,” says Allison. “But the bike hit the ambulance, he missed the ambulance, and walked away.”
THP had no update on the condition of the first accident victim.
By the end of April 2011 THP says 20 people died in motorcycle accidents in Tennessee.
Numbers for the entire year declined 18% over 2010.
But so far this year they seem to be on the rise.
By the end April 2011, 20 motorcyclists died on the road. THP says at the end of April 2012 that number rose to 28.
