In Norfolk, Virginia (VA) on Tuesday, June 10, 2008 at 2:50 pm a part of I-64, the main interstate highway, buckled, possibly due to the heat which reached 101°F according to weather.com. The road conditions led to a motorcycle accident near 4th View Street, in the Ocean View section of Norfolk. The motorcyclist slid after impacting a Chevrolet Suburban that braked because of the buckling. The cyclist was taken to Bon Secours DePaul Medical Center where he was treated for a minor injury. The Virginia Department of Transportation

(VDOT) made repairs and reopened all lanes of traffic by 7:20 pm.

The motorcyclist was lucky to get away with minor injury. People on bikes are so much more exposed when wrecks happen. Given the highway speeds, the injured cyclist was also fortunate no other vehicles hit him once he was down on the pavement.
