We were coming back from the NC mountains Sunday and came up on this accident on HWY 129. We were eastbound (southbound in this story).

It was terrible. The motorcyclist was laid out in the middle of the road, and covered with a blanket. I had to drive around the body to pass. That was a weird experience. I commented at the time that the body looked awfully small, I wondered if it was a woman,
I don't know how fast she was going or what kind of bike she was riding, but the left front wheel of the focus was knocked off, and the entire left front end destroyed. Didn't see the bike and it may have been down the side of the mountain. We were there so soon after the accident that there were no emergency personnel on site.
There were plenty of people on site, and obviously nothing I could do, so I went on down the road. I felt sort of bad about that, but realized there was nothing I could do except block traffic.
Passed GSP going the other way with all lights and siren going, about 1/4 mile down the road. Saw a Lumpkin County SO come out of side road behind me. Being as there are no turnoffs or turn arounds, I suspect that traffic was tied up a while.
