Origins:
The fatal accident depicted above took place on U.S. 169 near Tulsa, Oklahoma, during the early morning hours of 17 April 2007. The motorcyclist, 26-year-old Brandon Lee White of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, was traveling at an estimated 120+ mph when his motorcycle struck the back of a tractor-trailer rig.
According to the newspaper
Tulsa World:
White was dead at the scene.
Brandon's family said that they hoped his unfortunate death at least would help to bring attention to the issue of motorcycle safety:
Despite the hurt, the family members said they hope something good — a review of motorcycle safety laws — comes out of the recent death.
Helmet requirement laws, harsher penalties for speeding on a motorcycle, and community-based services to decrease drunken driving are among measures about which the family hopes the two young men's deaths spark a discussion.
Taking away a rider's motorcycle and motorcycle license for going a certain amount over the speed limit would be one way to curb speeding on bikes, said the elder White, who has ridden motorcycles for several years.
"That's the only thing that would make me think — that I'm going to lose it (his motorcycle)," he said. "I'm not a lawmaker, but I'm a biker, and that's the only thing that would work."
White said clubs that don't serve alcohol would go a long way toward helping reduce drunken-driving deaths for youths by providing them a hangout without the temptation of drinking and driving.
"We've got to do something to save these kids," he said. "We've got to do something to support them.

few inaccuracieshave crept into the text accompanying forwarded versions of these pictures. A 2008 variant carried the closing legend
"He lived. Wear your helmet!",but unfortunately Brandon Lee did not survive the accident despite his wearing a helmet.
Also, the friend of Brandon'swho
"was killed one week after this on his motorcycle going 120+ mph on Highway 169"referenced in the
second example abovewas
21-year-old Devin Seigal,who was killed in a similar motorcycle accident five days after Brandon's death (and had, in fact, attended Brandon's funeral).
