For an initial moment I thought I had witnessed a death on a bike this morning.  Thankfully it wasn't that.  Still pretty horrible crash.  

 I was riding along behind two strong riders in my group.  We had just moved out past a Broad rider.  (Around 43km/h)   After probably what felt like twenty minutes but was only probably about 30 seconds I was at my limit.  I bonked and moved off the back.  The others in my group moved past as did the accident victim.  

The pace eased off slightly and that is when the carnage happened.  A rider contacted one a rear wheel of one of our group and got speared off into the oncoming riders.  It was a head on impact by my estimate the combined impact would have been 60 km/h plus. 

Sickening to watch and I was first there and thought I just witnessed a fatality.

The Rider moving in my direction (North) was unconscious for a good 40 seconds and had quite visible facial injuries.  The other rider was conscious but suffering from major shock and was having breathing issues.

Did my best to sort them out until the ambulance came.  Btw don't give someone with a concussion anything to eat or drink.  

So the ambulance took the rider heading north away.  The other rider managed to stumble home.

 Not a fun morning.
