BUTLER, Pa. - Two brothers were killed in separate motorcycle accidents on the same stretch of road and within just two hours of each other. One was headed to the scene of his brother’s accident.

Steven Kerr, 37, of West Sunbury, was killed late Saturday when his motorcycle crashed into a speed limit sign on state Route 38, state police said.

Less than two hours later and only about 100 yards away, 29-year-old Jeremy Kerr was fatally injured when his motorcycle crashed into the rear of a vehicle stopped in traffic on Route 38, police said.

Jeremy Kerr of Hilliards was speeding as he headed for the scene of his brother’s accident, and traffic was stopped because emergency crews were still at the scene, officers said.

The occupants of the other vehicle suffered minor injuries.

Butler is about 30 miles north of Pittsburgh.

My God....how utterly tragic is that. I have no idea how anyone could bear a loss like that. That has to be tremendously devestating for their family. May they both rest in peace...

I read this story in the Butler paper this morning.One of the guys I'm working with lives in Butler and he said he can remember at least six motorcycle fatalities on rt 38 in the last six to eight years.There's even more tragic irony then the two brothers deaths-according to the Butler paper the bike that Steven was riding was involved in another fatal accident.Another guy was killed on the same bike about a year ago if I remember correctly.

Sorry to sound so callous, but damn, they both ran into inanimate objects. Sounds like they may be up for a Darwin Co-Award nomination. Who the hell let him jump on a bike and speed to the scene of his brother's fatal accident anyway? :rip_1:

And that other thing- "Well, some guy got killed on this bike, so I'll make you a deal on it". "Sweet!"

I mean it really sucks but when I read he ran into cars stopped because of his brother's accident! Some are better removed from the gene pool! :angry: :blink: :blink: :blink: :angry:
