Horrible motorcycle wreck on 40 between kernersville and winston close to new highway on buisness 40. Prayers for the family!!!
GREENSBORO, N.C. (WGHP) — As the weather is getting warmer, more motorcycles will be on the road.
In the Piedmont Triad, FOX8 has reported on three fatal motorcycle crashes since Saturday. One was in Kernersville, one was in Winston-Salem and one was in Greensboro.
FOX8 spoke to the brother of 34-year-old Marc Schmitt. He says this news has been devastating.
Marc and Eric Schmitt met every Sunday at Jake’s Billiards. By 1 p.m. on any given Sunday, you could expect to find the brothers in a booth.
In a conversation over the phone, Eric said that when his brother didn’t show up on time Sunday afternoon, his stomach dropped, and he knew something was wrong.
At 12:40 p.m., while going to meet his brother for their weekly lunch, Marc had been in an accident on West Friendly Avenue.
Marc was on his beloved Harley Davidson going east in the left lane on West Friendly Avenue when Greensboro police say a minivan crossed traffic from Lindley Lane. This is when officers say the motorcycle was hit by the left side of the minivan.
Marc died on the scene.
John Nosek, his friend of 15 years, said that when he heard the news, he didn’t want to believe it.
