Two accidents just miles and minutes from each other put a big damper on the Charlotte area motorcycle community. Interstate 485 has taken the life of Edward Stephens, Jr., 22, after his motorcycle lost control and hit a guardrail and has injured another man when his bike’s back wheel wobbled and went off the road. “I think that overall, most people that are into motorbiking accept the fact that these things happen from time to time, but the wise ones try to see what they can do to minimize that,” said motorcycle store owner Mark Engel. It is said that speed may have played a role in the fatal motorcycle accident.
