The Accident

Early Saturday morning, sometime after midnight, Amacker said goodnight to some friends at a nearby pool hall and got on her motorcycle to head home. Less than 2 miles from her house, there is a tricky turn down and around a small incline with metal drainage grates at the bottom. Somewhere in there, near the bottom of the hill, she lost control of her bike at fairly high speed, skidded some 70+ feet up the other side of the hill and then began sliding along the left guardrail for quite a distance.

She was wearing leathers and a helmet, but the impact was great.

We know that two surgeons were close behind her and first to arrive at the scene. They couldn’t do much to treat her, but they did call 911 and stayed with her until emergency vehicles arrived.
