Drive to funeral turns to tragedy

John C. Sanderson, 59, of Spokane died Aug. 24 from the injuries he suffered in a collision on U.S. Highway 2 .

Liz Sanderson dreamed of a motorcycle on its side and a body under a truck. The dream spooked her enough not to join her husband, 59-year-old John C. Sanderson, on a motorcycle last Friday.

The Sandersons were heading to Newport to attend the funeral of John’s 81-year-old mother, Delores J. Sanderson. “I didn’t tell him that, because he loves riding his motorcycle,” Liz Sanderson said this week. “He loves riding his bike.”

She and several family members were about eight cars behind John as he rode his 1994 Honda Gold Wing. Then, brake lights.

“They were slowing down and I knew something was up,” she said. “I said, ‘Oh God, don’t let it be John,’ and it was. I saw the end of his motorcycle. They were just pulling him out from underneath the truck.” More here. Thomas Clouse, SR
