Default Typical Saturday night in Tampa Bay...

This was about a mile from my house... http://www.baynews9.com/Chat.cfm?eve...ntentId=487220

PINELLAS COUNTY (Bay News 9) -- Four men were seriously hurt in an overnight motorcycle crash on the Bayside Bridge.

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, just before 11 p.m. Saturday, four motorcycles were traveling together on the south side of the Bayside Bridge when Michael J. Parasi, 39, hit the brakes, setting off a chain reaction of crashes behind him.

Investigators say the motorcycle driven by 40-year-old Allen R. Vanett rear-ended Parasi. Then a third motorcycle, driven by 26-year-old Armondo Bonafe, crashed into the first two motorcycles. Finally, the motorcycle driven by 25-year-old Felix Borges crashed into Bonafe's motorcycle.

All four drivers, and a passenger, 19-year-old Devon Spencer, who was riding with Parasi, were thrown from their motorcycles and went skidding down the road several hundred feet.

Vanett, Parasi, Spencer and Bonafe all sustained serious injuries. One of the victims was flown to the hospital with serious injuries, although officials did not say who that was.

Borges sustained only minor injuries.

Investigators said they do not believe alcohol was a factor in the crash. They also said that all of the men were wearing helmets at the time of the crash.
