Default Rider Down-W. hillsborough ave.

so i was comin off a ride with some ppl i met on TSB, its about 12:30.i was headin to strokers pool hall/lounge goin east bound on hillsborough ave one mile east of racetrack rd. i'm goin like 80 or so when i see a couple cop cars with the lights on so i slow to about 40..then slower when i see the cops in the woods with a bike pulled off to the side of the road. i park the bike, fire is just pullin on scene. and then i see a kid(who's bike was pulled over) holding his friend(who's bike was nowhere to be seen) in his arms about 10 feet into the woods.. cops approach me and have me take off. i get to strokers and talked to a guy and his gf who pull up on a cruiser and i ask if they saw the wreck in which they replied that they hit the engine block from the kids bike that was in the middle of the road. i saw the damage... they sure as shit hit somethin. i leave strokers and pass the sight on the way home so i stop to talk to the towtruck driver pickin up with wreckage. it was a red gsxr..possibley a 1000 vs. an old ford pickup. i've seen some wrecks with my job and all.. this bike was completely torn apart more than anything i've ever seen... the freakin gas tank was as flat as a dinner plate, and then fork assembly was somewhere in the woods. the tow driver also said there were two on the bike that wrecked after showing me a pink shoe that was still stuck in a tree that half that branches were broken on. anyone know who the two ppl were.?..
nobody could tell me if they made it or not.my prayers go to the riders and families and everyone else who rides.. please stay safe and wear the gear even if its hot out..
