Motorcycle Accident with Truck

After motorcycle-truck wreck, 2 call for help: 1 to God, 1 to 911 By: Holly Hollman "CROSS KEY — When residents responded to a Wednesday night wreck near their neighborhood store, one called for help while another turned to God on behalf of the man thrown from his motorcycle. "When I got to him, I could tell he was still breathing," said one neighbor who didn't want to disclose his name. "I fell over him and started praying. That's all I knew to do." Another resident called 911. The wreck occurred at 6 p.m. on Easter Ferry Road in the triangle that Easter Ferry, Edgewood and Cross Key roads create around Mama Bear's convenience store and restaurant in Limestone County. The motorcycle and a pickup hit head-on, said Assistant Coroner Andy Jackson. Jackson identified the motorcycle driver as Randall Barksdale, 49, of Edgewood Road. Troopers were not releasing the truck driver's name. The truck had a Limestone County tag. John Gordon, who was visiting a relative on Easter Ferry, responded to the scene and heard the truck's driver yell, "Call 911! Call 911!" Continue Article
