Rice Road

Multi car fatality on Rice Road eastbound traffic is forced to turn around at the stop sign to 29 Palms. Road will be closed both ways for atleast 3 hours. I don't know anything else.

Sad but not surprising

So, Motorbike vs truck, I would assume two on the bike, but the third in the road?
Damn, that sucks.

I hate that road a lot of lives lost on that one.

I went through before they closed the road, head-on between bike and MWD flatbed truck. There were plenty of people there so I didn't stop, there were two tarps but one didn't look like it was covering much. I only saw one bike and it was a frame and engine, had also burned, there might have been another bike as that was what I was told later but not sure.
