Thomas Kardos: Motorcyclist killed in east Charlotte wreck:

A recent fatal motorcycle crash is currently under investigation by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department’s Major Crash Investigation Unit.

The incident occurred in the Hickory Grove Division on Friday, October 11, 2024, and involved a motorcycle and a pickup truck, according to official department release.

At the center of the investigation is a collision that took place shortly before 7:30 p.m. at the 8000 block of Lawyers Road.

Preliminary findings suggest the motorcyclist, identified as 46-year-old Thomas Kardos, III, was traveling northwest on Lawyers Road at a speed above the posted limit.

Kardos’ motorcycle, a 2007 Honda Shadow VT750, struck a 2024 Dodge Ram 2500 Big Horn attempting a left turn onto Harri Ann Drive.

The crash left the motorcycle partially under the pickup truck and caused extensive damage to the front end of the truck.

Tragically, Kardos was pronounced deceased at the scene by MEDIC, who responded alongside the Charlotte Fire Department.

The driver of the pickup, 28-year-old Mr. Angel Sanchez Medina, did not sustain injuries in the crash and cooperated with authorities at the scene.

As detectives from the Major Crash Investigation Unit, along with the DWI and Street Racing Task Forces, delve into the circumstances of the crash, they are assisted by members of the Crime Scene Search team in collecting physical evidence.
