Biker dead in the undergrowth for 2 weeks

[jonnay]

Sorry if its a repost..

One of the local hooning roads near me runs from Redruth - Newquay, brilliant road and close by for a late evening blast, too. Today a body was found there, following a bike crash well.. 2 weeks ago. The bloke had been missing since the crash, but had simply been flung so far into the undergrowth he hadn't been found with the bike.

Grim, ey? Will make me a bit more careful on that road, mind.

RIP

You wouldn't wish that on anyone. Poor sod.

[innominate]

Probably a dry stone wall.

Still pretty grim tho

I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often really.
A bike can slip down a bank unseen much easier than a car - and that happens sometimes too.

Horrible story, I hate to think it might happen to me and I'll not be found, or worse get critically injured but nobody will find you

Poor sod; just lying there for a few weeks - very sad story. It's no surprise they needed a forensic examination to formally identify him given the recent hot weather.

We ahd a youngster locally who was found the following morning. He was on a a DT125 travelling down a really icey road in February, misjudged a corner came off the bike and actually drowned in a ditch of only a few inches of water.
He was due to take his test the following day!

@ extreme3d... if you watch the bbc vid on the website, it appears that the bike went down the ditch with him - hence why the police weren't searching for the biker.

What an awful story, RIP...poor guy

i live in redruth! what a shithole

Hi

Seems to happen occasionally. One a few years ago on a dual carraigeway where the police cleared up and later the body was found.

From memory there was a guy killed on the A50 who wasn't found for ages (might have been in a car though) about 2 years ago.

All the best

To be fair having gone through a granite wall i doubt highly it was a long lingering death, dont you.

Pretty much instantaneous.

Couldnt give a fuck if i was maggot food for a couple of weeks before i was found, asides from the stress to family of course.

What worries me is say, being paralysed, or having two broken legs in a field, in the middle of no where.

Part of the reason i ride with my mp3 player, its very calming lying in the road with music. Would hate to be left on my own, in immense pain in a field, with no means to get help, and not have at least music to keep me sane.

It's accidents like these that keep the family and mrs negative about me riding a bike!

I seem to remember something similar some years ago; a car went off the A3 into the undergrowth and wasn't found for weeks. Matey was still at the wheel as I recall.

There was a guy on the londonbound carriageway of the A3 coming out of Guildford a couple of years back, he`d lost control of his car and crashed into some really dense bushes down an enbankment.

A walker found the car two months later, as autumn made the bushes a little less dense.

Can`t imagine what that must`ve been like to find.

[LUXY DJ]

see what im wondering tho is do you think @least ONE of his lights was still on? front OR rear,etc cause surely the next vechile to come round wouldnt have been THAT MUCH later that the bike battery died by then? so if so they must of been able to see light somewere in the bushes be it white or red just an thought cause they did say it was just off the road but so others wouldnt have seen it/him but with lights on surely they BOTH wouldnt have smashed & both wernt covered so no light was showing


RIP
