Default first time ever...

Ok, so I'm a day late about putting this up but I haven't had a chance to because of my crazy work scheduele. Yesterday I was going back home from visiting my girlfreind who lives in gurnee Illinois, and I live in Chicago. Anywho, I was on 90/94 east going about 80-95mph, I look up because I see sparks on the ground coming from the opposite direction, and than I see a body just rolling to the shoulder. This was the first ever accident I'm real life that I have ever seen, I shytted my pants. I almost immediatly went into the slow lane and just started going 40-45mph. I wasn't able to help the guy out but I did a quick look back and saw him/her on one knee. I pray to god that he's ok and that he watches over him. I have never gone down yet *knock on wood* and I know there's people that have gone down and than theres people that will go down. Man, I don't want to be in either category. It's a scary fuking feeling seeing someone else go down, because of the reality that it could have been you. Damn. If anyone lives in Illinois and knows of this, I hope he's ok. Que dios le bendiga.

Can't blame someone for not knowing what to do when seeing something like that for the first time.

Since I ride alone mostly, I've never seen anyone go down. Just seen the accident scene afterwards.

Oh wow I work right off of Willow Road. So you were headed north bound and he was headed south bound is that right? If so isn't there a huge center median so you really couldn't turn around anywhere. Ride safe today everyone!

Yes there is. All I did was look back after I saw him/her fall. It's crazy. I'm actually about to leave.
