According to an article from WCNC, an eighteen year old man was killed outside of Charlotte, North Carolina recently when his Honda Gold wing motorcycle crashed by veering off a Gaston County road. The motorcycle crash happened on July 25, 2010 on Crowders Creek Road. The young man was staying in Charlotte, North Carolina during the week while living outside of Charlotte, with family, on the weekends.
The North Carolina State Trooper who is investigating the motorcycle crash went on record as saying that it will be difficult to determine the cause of the motorcycle accident because four days of heat and rain had passed between the wreck and the discovery of the scene. An accident reconstruction team will investigate the matter and should be able to provide an estimate of the speed that the motorcycle was traveling and other details of the wreck. There remain many unanswered questions about the wreck and why no one noticed that the young man was missing.
