A Banshee ridden by a couple crashed at high speed approx 4:00 to 7:00 AM yesterday morning near the Glamis Beach Store.
(This time of Year events are held late at night/early morning).
It's suspected the couple laid on the scene for several hours before being discovered.
The female passenger killed at the scene,, word that the male may have died later today by friends at the scene,, but unconfirmed at this point.
It's important to know what happened in these sad accidents so you can avoid this same fate.
We never ride at nite except a slow group ride to Comp hill to race, and never double.
Sad. My thoughts and prayers to all the families involved.
Wow... And sand season isn't even here yet.
Damn that sucks!!!
My girlfriend and I just happened to stop by the beach store on the way from Niland to the river after doing some hunting. We arrived at the store about 20 minutes after the two were found. There were about 7 friends around, half of them crying, and 3 store employees. We took the mans pulse. It quick and strong, but he was in and out of conciousness. Her eyes were swollen and a blackish purple. There was alot of blood from her mouth and nose. I asked for a sheet to cover the girl as the friend were falling apart, but the store emplyees were adimant about touching nothing as this was on store property and BLM was on the way. I said a little prayer with my hand on the mans foot gave my condolences to the friends and left.
It appears that they may have been riding over a 4' pile of 8' long telephone pole rounds and crashed. Both were wearing helmets. It looked as if the man removed his own as well as the girls helmet and tried to give her water. I looked for damage to the helmets. Both were scraped but not much else. Hers was full of blood.
My first impulse was to get the camera out, but I quicky saw the disrespect in it, and glad I did. I have never seen a dead body before and will not soon forget the images in my head.
Very scary.
That sucks!
I lost a good friend last year at Glamis.
My prayers and thought go out to the family's.

You did good Challenger. Very thoughtful.
Holy crap!!! So sad to start the season off this way. :cry: Im curious, were they going to fast? Were they thrown from the vehicle? Why riding double?
Thoughts and prayers for thier families.
Glamis has changed since I started going there over 30 years ago. I had not been there for about 15 years and went back 2 years ago. there are so many people out there now.
79 you did the right thing.
That sucks to hear. I have been there done that 79. Its not easy. They had their big night ride out there this weekend.
