Louisville man killed in crash on Alcoa Highway

A 23-year-old Louisville man was killed when his motorcycle crashed into the back of a van on Alcoa Highway Tuesday night.

Brantley E.Toomer, 23, Reed Road, Louisville, was pronounced dead following the accident that occurred at 10:06 p.m. in the northbound lanes of the highway near Cusick Road, Alcoa Police Sgt. Hank Morris said.

Morris said Toomer was traveling "at a very high rate of speed" when the crash occurred on Alcoa Highway and said he had seen the motorcyclist speeding on Hall Road just before the accident.

"He passed me doing at least 90 (mph) on Hall Road," Morris said.

Morris said he was traveling in the opposite direction when he saw the motorcyclist on Hall Road and could not get turned around quick enough to stop him. He said he notified dispatch and other officers of the speeding motorcyclist.

Witnesses told Alcoa police officers that the motorcyclist was "cutting in and out of traffic" on Alcoa Highway.

Morris said Joann T. Cantrell, 48, Mynders Avenue, Maryvile, was driving a Dodge Caravan in the left hand lane of the northbound lanes of the highway. He said Toomer tried to swerve around the van while traveling behind it and hit the back end of the van.

When the black and white Yamaha motorcyle hit the back of the van, Toomer was thrown off of the bike and onto Alcoa Highway, Morris said.

Toomer was pronounced dead at the scene by emergency personnel. His body was taken by Rural/Metro Ambulance Service to Blount Memorial Hospital.

Neither Cantrell or her two passengers were reported injured in the accident.

Alcoa firefighters, Blount County Sheriff's deputies and Knoxville Metropolitan Airport Authority officers assisted Alcoa police officers at the scene of the accident.

The northbound lanes of Alcoa Highway were shut down from the Hunt Road exit to Cusick Road until after 12 a.m. today while officers reconstructed the crash.

Would he be alive if that Alcoa cop wasn't trying to chase him and steal his money at gunpoint?

Most folks who don't stop simply cannot afford to pay a ticket, so they take their chances. Unless they have racing experience, have memorized the road, have a superior driving machine, and a nearby garage, the outcome is very risky.

If speeding is a crime worthy of summary execution, should we just start killing all the cops right now? All cops speed, every day. The dead cop was riding his sportbike to work at the jail, when a cop-killing cop suddenly rammed him without warning, without bothering to make a traffic stop. Death to speeders?

Should we start killing all drivers, since all drivers speed, and perp other heinous traffic crimes, like driving 1 mph in a zero mph zone?

I said that killing speeders for speeding is a bad idea.

Cops say killing speeders for speeding is a good idea.

Cops kill over 500 US citizens every year during routine traffic stops, including 1/3rd innocent bystanders, including 3% cops.

Speeding is SIX TIMES SAFER that driving a speed limit, according to Uncle Sam and common sense.

There's no such thing as a hard-working cop. They should get a real job. Unless they want to deport 50-million illegal aliens and stop selling them fake ID driver certificates. Illegal aliens are not required to have valid "driver licenses" (internal passports to walk as required by Communist Manifesto).

I say that if Toomer hadn't been going 100 mph, at night, in traffic, on a road he didn't know that well, he wouldn't have made the papers, and his family wouldn't be grieving.

Cop wouldnt have tried to chase him if he hadnt of been speeding in the first place. You fail.

Like I stated previously your views are skewed.. And yes ur welcome to your views B-cuz I had helped to protect them.. Alot of the cops I talk to tell me that they don't mind people who speed as long as they aren't endangering anyone else.. It's when people become reckless that it becomes a problem.. There is a way to Speed and be safe about it, and there is a way to speed and be reckless about it.. Alot of your arguments seems to me to stem of the grouping of recklessness..

Cops kill over 500 US citizens every year during routine traffic stops, including 1/3rd innocent bystanders, including 3% cops.

Maybe if they weren't breaking the law and putting others lives in danger. Innocent bystanders and cops can break the law too.. Also, if innocent bystander weren't so damn nosy maybe they'd live to see it on the news instead of trying to see it live..

Speeding is SIX TIMES SAFER that driving a speed limit, according to Uncle Sam and common sense.

There are 2 sides to this coin.. I in general agree with that statement.. But like I stated earlier there are reckless people out there, who can screw it up for everyone.. Now going a 100 mph when everyone is going anywhere between 60-85, is dangerous.. Especially if that person is weaving thru traffic..

There's no such thing as a hard-working cop. They should get a real job. Unless they want to deport 50-million illegal aliens and stop selling them fake ID driver certificates. Illegal aliens are not required to have valid "driver licenses" (internal passports to walk as required by Communist Manifesto).

LoL.. once again your ideology is seriously skewed.. Apparently, work to you consists of deporting illegal aliens, and not taking care of other more serious criminal acts.. Most of the cops I know are very Hard-working, honorable, and fair individuals.. There are a few exceptions, but that's to be expected in any field.. But for the most part they are honorable people doing honorable things.. Just b-cuz you have a Personal Vendetta on a few cops doesn't mean that it should go for the entire cop population.. It's just like saying All Motorcyclist are irresponsible, reckless, and only care about the image they portraying.. We all know that that statement isn't true, but there are a few that fit the mold..

actually if you read the story that was posted... the officer wasnt even pursuing the motorcyclist... so to say the guy was running from the pursuing officer is in itself a false statement... the officer said himself that he wasnt able to turn around in time to chase the biker... and all he did was radio in to dispatch and other officers to BOLO for the speeding biker... the police didnt do anything wrong in this case... so to blame them for the bikers mishap is completely unethical and wrong... your entitled to your opinion but to twist the facts to make the cops out the be the bad guy in this situation isnt right... in fact it just shows more of the FTP attitude that they dont deserve...

Get back to me when cops, prosecutors, judges and politicians admit in public that:

1. they have no authority to sell driver license internal passport contracts to non-commercial drivers, just like boat drivers, ultralight pilots and govt employees

2. they have no authority to sell vehicle registration title donation contracts to non-commercial drivers

3. they have no authority to sue traffic tickets against travelers who drive safely without crashing

4. they have no authority to set speed limits or install stop signs and redlights

5. cops harm highway safety and all cops be required to be First Responders and carry first aid kits and large fire extinguishers, or 90% of cops be replaced with ambulance crews

6. cops start teaching skid control slide training, and start using the word countersteering, on a voluntary basis

7. cops start deporting 50-million illegal aliens

8. cops start arresting millions of crooks who infiltraited govt, starting with their own police chiefs and sheriffs, including all residents of the governors mansions and White House

Until then, I'll fight my battles in traffic court, and win.

I no longer drink and smoke dope with cops and their Wikkan dyke wives. But I do admit that's a great way to gather intel.

Ok, so this in no way answered my response to your post that the guy, RIP, that killed himself by driving into the back of a minivan on the highway, was not involved in a current police pursuit, nor did he even have a unit behind him at the time of the accident... im just trying to clerify your original post where the biker was involved in a pursuit which led to the officer killing him...
