On June 20, I was heading eastbound on US 412 just east of the point where I-44 exits off of 412 and onto the Will Rogers (or Creek depending on who you ask) Turnpike near Catoosa.  ODOT found a hole in the westbound I-44 bridge over 177th East Avenue and one lane was closed.  This backed up traffic between the I-44/US 412 merge and Cherokee Curve.  Near the point where I-44 merges into US 412, I caught a crotch rocket style motorcycle sliding down the pavement and a split second later, I saw the biker flying through the air.  I didn't see the initial impact and I didn't see the man land but I caught the middle of the accident.  I can't find any stories about it in the media so I assume the guy survived.  It was surreal.
