Title: 2 more in Pittsburg Ca.
Post by: Cigarmike on November 10, 2010, 06:27:04 AM

Two motorcycle accidents — one serious and one fatal — occurred at the same spot within exactly one hour of each other early Saturday morning in Pittsburg, California.

The accidents occurred on Highway 4 near Bailey Road at 1:16 a.m. and 2:16 a.m., according to a report in the San Jose Mercury News.

The first accident was fatal. California Highway Patrol officer Ralph Caggiano told the Mercury News that 25-year-old Nicina Acevedo of Oakley was riding her Harley-Davidson motorcycle east on Highway 4 when she lost control near Bailey Road and crashed in the fast lane.

Acevedo was ejected from her motorcycle, which skidded a few hundred feet from the crash scene, Caggiano said. Several vehicles stopped to try to help her, as she lay responsive on the freeway, in the lane next to the fast lane.

Moments later, Acevedo was struck by a passing Toyota Camry, Caggiano said. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Exactly an hour later, a black Chrysler 300 and a motorcycle collided in exactly the same spot. Investigators did not state what caused the crash or who was at fault, but at least one of the drivers was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving.

What a tragedy, such a young girl to be taken away from her family so soon.  My condolences to her family and friends.  Will say a prayer for all involved.

I received a call the next day.  I've known the family for at least fifteen years.  Nicci's brother was lost in a house fire a few years back and I saw her last at his funeral.  I've been on many rides and camp outs with her parents over the years.

My heart and prayers go out to Beaver and Loni and the rest of the family.
