An accident involving three motorcycles and a car on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Floyd Couty, Virginia (VA), claimed the life of one motorcyclist and injured three others just before the start of the 2012 Memorial Day weekend. The fatal head-on collision occurred on Shooting Creek Road.
The car’s driver and one motorcycle rider were taken to the hospital for treatment of injuries. The other rider was treated at the scene. It appears that all three motorcyclists were traveling together and were from Texas.
