Intersection of 129 and 72 at Motorcycle Pitstop, Punkin Center BBQ Motel and Tennessee Tree of Shame
UPDATE: Punkin Center store's security camera recorded the actual crash. "Bike was going no more than 20 mph at time of impact." She would've had no injury except the RV kept driving after impact, actually driving the tires over her head, splitting the full-face helmet.
ZX14 tourist from Indiana got hit by an RV then run over. May lose her leg.
Begs the question, how long was the "response" by Rural Metro Taxi Service?
In Knox County RM has a 10 minute limit or is fined by the county. In Blount County response time is unlimited, with 4 hours common on the Dragon, leading to many unnecessary deaths. Rural Metro is a trillion-dollar private company run for the profit of its European shareholders. RM charges $5,000 for a 5-minute taxi ride to Lifestar, which charges $19,000 for a $4,000 air taxi.
BTW cops carry no first responder kit and provide no first aid.
Did cops even write a ticket for the RV driver who turned in front of an approaching bike? Everybody knows bikes are always at fault, which is why THP has increased biker tickets 11,400% on the Dragon, with immunity to truckers. Note that THP always says sportbikes drive at 60 mph, without evidence.
Was she wearing jeans or kevlar jeans or armored riding pants? Mesh jacket may have protected her upper body but perhaps no hard spine protection, hence the broken back.
Old RV driver had no idea he was in a crash, and kept on driving, dragging the biker under the trailer hitch... (NEED KEVLAR JEANS)

Note that the most dangerous part of any crash is going to hospital. Doctors are leading cause of death in USA, while riding a bike is one of the safest things you could ever do.
"The most stunning statistic, however, is that the total number of deaths caused by conventional medicine is an astounding 783,936 per year. It is now evident that the American medical system is the leading cause of death and injury in the US. Using Leape's 1997 medical and drug error rate would add another 216,000 deaths, for a total of 999,936 deaths annually. Our estimated 10-year total of 7.8 million iatrogenic* deaths is more than all the casualties from all the wars fought by the US throughout its entire history. Our considerably higher figure is equivalent to six jumbo jets are falling out of the sky each day."
—Gary Null, PhD; Carolyn Dean MD, ND; Martin Feldman, MD; Debora Rasio, MD; Dorothy Smith, PhD, Death by Medicine, March 2004 (plus 1-Million annual aborticides in USA)
"The median pre-crash speed was 29.8 mph, and the median crash speed was 21.5 mph, and the one-in-a-thousand crash speed is approximately 86 mph. Motorcycle riders in these accidents showed significant collision avoidance problems. Most riders would overbrake and skid the rear wheel, and underbrake the front wheel greatly reducing collision avoidance deceleration. The ability to countersteer and swerve was essentially absent."
