BIRMINGHAM, AL (WBRC) - A motorcycle rider and an on-track worker were killed Friday morning in a crash at the Barber Motorsports park.

According to Birmingham Police, several riders were running a test for a motorcycle race when one of the riders hit an employee on the track.

The on-track worker had reportedly went onto the track to remove a dead bird when he was hit.

The identities of the two victims have not yet been released

she is local to Trussville here.

Her and her husband both ride WERA.

I got a call about it this morning.


My understanding is the CW went to clear the dead bird under a standing yellow flag (not waving) on top of the blind hill at turn 4 at Barber.
She crested the rise with no place to go. It is ask no speculation be thrown around either.

She is the one on the back row between red and blue shirts with the rag on

I'm the shmuck on the ground
