This article from this mornings paper (although the names and addreses are listed in the orginal story, I chose to just use their first names and not use their house numbers):
Headline:
Two motorcyclists were hurt, one critically, when one hit the other late Saturday afternoon on Interstate 81 in Cicero.
Sheriff's deputies closed I-81's northbound lane between Cicero and Brewerton for about two hours after the crash.
Deputies said witnesses reported seeing Malcolm XXXX, 35, of xxxxx Sumac Circle, Central Square, riding his 2000 Harley-Davidson north on I-81 at a high speed, weaving in and out of traffic.
Near Exit 31, Malcolum's motorcycle struck the rear of a motorcycle operated by Eric B. XXXXXX, 26, of xxxxx Homeland Road, North Syracuse, deputies said.
Eric XXXXXX was leaving the highway at Brewerton. The two were not traveling together.
Both motorcycles fell over, deputies said, and Malcom XXXX slid into a pickup truck operated by Karl A. XXXXX, 30, of XXXX Pangborn Road, Hastings.
Malcolm XXXX was flown by helicopter to University Hospital in Syracuse with multiple trauma injuries, deputies said. He was in critical condition late Saturday, a nursing supervisor said.
Eric was treated at the scene for minor injuries.

For those not familiar with the territory, it's about 20 miles north of Syracuse, NY on the Route 81 (Pennsylvania-Canadian Expressway.)
In this area it's a 6 lane highway, 3 in each direction, with usually only moderate traffic, which I understand was closed for 2 hrs. due to this "accident." I will post a follow up once the actual facts of this story are released.
