The section of the Alpine Tunnel Road close to the tunnel is extremely narrow, steep, and rocky. Paco was riding on his BMW when he hit a slab of stone that caused his bike to make a sudden turn to the left sending him and the bike hurtling down the rocky mountainside. He credits that bush near him for saving his life. His motorbike is at the foot of the rocks. Luckily he was unhurt but his bike was totaled.
We gave him a ride back to town.
