An approximately 30-year-old male clings to life this morning after the motorcycle he was operating slammed into the rear trailer of a moving tanker truck.
The crash occurred about 2:50 am Sunday morning in the southbound lanes of I-435 at 87th Street in south KC-MO..
The first fire department pumper to arrive reported the wrecked cycle was on fire with it's driver found more than 50 feet away.

About 8 motorcycles passed me one night on I-435 going significantly faster than we were. I figure speeds were in excess of 130 mph.
Helmet law or not, crashing on a motorcycle at 130 won't make any difference. I see the way people drive and it doesn't surprise me to read about stuff like this.
Its the price you pay for the choices you make in life. I know the way they drive there is precious little room for error.
