The bizarre chain of events began around 10 p.m. Thursday, when a Clayton sheriff’s deputy clocked two northbound motorcycles at 110 mph
A short time later, one of the motorcycles, which turned out to be stolen, hit the back of a Volkswagen in the same lane. The biker lost control of the motorcycle and went airborne, the bike flying over the median wall and into the windshield of a southbound tractor-trailer.
The truck driver lost control of the big rig, and the trailer became disconnected from the tractor,
The trailer then crashed through the median wall into the northbound lanes and struck a northbound sport utility vehicle.
The rig’s tractor, which remained in the southbound lanes, caught fire, and the deputy who had originally clocked the motorcycles pulled the trucker from the burning cab.
Meanwhile, the crumpled wreckage of the motorcycle caught fire in the southbound lanes, and was hit by a southbound taxi that also caught fire.
