who this is.
I read this on a bmx forum,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A fellow Indiana BMXer who competed on the NBL national circuit died early Friday morning.

John won several Indiana and NBL national plates even a couple of US Open titles.

From Local News Station;

Fishers - A car traveling at 105 mph on Allisonville Road crashed overnight, killing the driver.

Police say high speed and erratic driving led to a mangled heap of metal. Witnesses near Commercial Drive and Lantern road describe the single car crash.

"There was dust and smoke everywhere," said one witness. "It was an incredible sound. It was scary. The car, it sounded like it flipped a million times."

The driver, 24-year-old John Durham of Indianapolis, was ejected several yards from his Toyota Scion. He died from the impact. Durham was known as a BMX bike competitor.

Police say an officer first spotted Durham speeding up Allisonville Road at 105 mph and then lost sight of him. Minutes later, Durham reappeared on Lantern Road where he blew through a stop sign at 126th Street, and erratically passed another vehicle.

"Flew by us and came out of nowhere in the opposite lane and went to come around the rail road tracks and started flipping, just kept flipping," said a witness. "I'm just glad he didn't hit us. 105 miles per hour. We were going like 30, 35."

Police did not witness the crash, but tire marks and shattered glass and wood indicate Durham lost control at the rail road tracks, sending the car soaring through the air.

"We do know the crash started at the rail road tracks which makes sense because that road elevates," said Ed Gebhart.

Investigators searched the car for any signs of alcohol or drugs, but found no evidence that would indicate why Durham was speeding through Fishers and running from police. They now wait on toxicology tests.

The Hamilton County Fatal Alcohol Crash Team is investigating the crash. There is a report from a witness that a person was seen walking away from the crash area. The Fishers Police Department along with the Fatal Alcohol Crash Team are investigating those reports.

I know John was going through some things in life that come along with being 21+. John was showing signs of a comeback last fall at CrossRoads Indoor BMX.
John's parents were instrumental in helping Indy Indoor [previous name] get started. They volunteered countless hours of their time in running / managing the concession stand, getting build up to fire code, etc......

John will be missed..........R.I.P.

Longere

my condolences go out to his family even though i have no idea who he was.

 

I heard about that this morning but didn't know it was a tC involved.

I wonder what the hell was going on...

he wasn't one of our club members... but the name sounds familiar...

 

Wow. Sad.

 

that's what you get for driving like a f-king idiot... sorry I don't feel bad for people that do stuff like this

 

i'm sure you'd feel the same way if one of your best friends died this way, wouldn't you?

 

then keep it to yourself... people who talk like this deserve to be smacked around.

 

yo, illnist, would you still feel that way if this guy wacked your father or mother at 105 going thru an intersection, killing them.

 

Thats not the point... this kid was the son or brother to someone who doesnt need to be disrespected like this. justify it all you want, but keep it to yourself and show some respect.

 

I live in Fishers two minutes away from the scene. My friend witnessed the crash. He said it was a black tC?

 

black cherry pearl.

where the heck are all these indiana owners all of a sudden?

 

I've had my tC for about 2 months now so I'm pretty new. I drive the only tC I know of at my high school.

 

we are having a install meet this sunday.. about 45-a hour east of indy off 70 if you wanna chill.

 

Right up by my place too. I live off of 106th and Lantern, saw it in the paper.
