Bikers line up at girl's lemonade stand after mom helps save them during crash
WATCH: The Milwaukee Iron motorcycle group bought Bryanne's lemonade after her mom Daryn Sturch, a nurse, helped them after a crash.
A group of 30 bikers visited one little girl's lemonade stand as a long-awaited thank you to her mom.
The Milwaukee Iron motorcycle group of Kokomo, Indiana, lined up at 8-year-old Bryanne's stand after her mom, Daryn Sturch, a nurse, helped them after a highway crash.
"When I pulled up, it looked like one of them had lost control and their bikes [got] tangled," Sturch of Denver, Indiana, told "Good Morning America." "I parked a ways away so my daughter wouldn't see and I ran up. They had some severe injuries."
The Milwaukee Iron motorcycle group of Kokomo, Indiana, lined up at 8-year-old Bryanne's stand after her mom Daryn Sturch, a nurse, helped them after a highway crash.
The accident, which injured five bikers, took place on Indiana's on State Road 19 in September 2018, according to ABC affiliate WRTV.
Sturch said she comforted the victims -- three men and two women -- until paramedics arrived. Later, the bikers recovered and reached out to Sturch on Facebook.
Daryn Sturch said she and Milwaukee Iron kept in touch, and on Sept. 7 she shared a photo of her daugher Bryanne selling lemonade outside of their home.
"I just got a flood of messages from them, thanking me," Sturch recalled.

One of the bikers expressed interested in stopping by, but little did Sturch know, 30 motorcycles would be revving up her block.
"I had no idea how many there would be and they were so generous," Sturch said. "She was charging $1, and I bet every one of them gave a $5 or $10 or $20. [Bryanne] was as happy as she could be."
Mary Henry, one of the bikers who was uninjured in the crash, told "GMA" she and her motorcycle family are grateful to Sturch.
Daryn Sturch of Denver, Indiana, exchanges hugs with a member of the Milwaukee Iron motorcyle group, whom she helped after a motorcycle crash in 2018.
"Seeing Daryn and her family, it turned out to be a great day," Henry said. "It was meant to be that she was there to help that day."
Sturch exchanged hugs with the injured bikers as they approached her home, she said.
"They're the nicest people. I want everyone to know how amazing they are," she said.

Used to work in a hotel at night. A guy brings in an almost unconscious woman and says that he thinks, based on her hotel keys, that she is staying in this hotel, and probably need to be taken to her room. We look it up and confirm that she is.
Just as we start to help get her to the room, guy is turning to leave. Suddenly, a group of bikers walk into the lobby. Their leader steps forward and goes:
"We followed you, and saw you helping her back to the hotel. You did not take advantage of her and did the right thing. Here's our card. If you ever have ANY problems in this area, you call this number and we will come to help, day or night."
They invited the guy to have some beers, and they left together.
A memorable night...

My mom was friends with a gal at work whos husband rode for a local bike group called "the old fucks" or something like that. And when my grandma who lived with us passed, 3 days later we heard a motorcycle group grumbling up the street and looked out to watch motocycles pass by our house for almost 2 minutes. It had to be a hundred motorcycles that drove past our house to pay respects. It was a cool thing to witness

One of the coolest things I've ever witnessed was a group of local bikers in southwest Virginia dropping off gifts for local orphans. Not sure if this still happens but it was an annual event. Must have been hundreds of bikers followed by an 18 wheeler. Each child got tons of great presents. Should have seen the smiles on the kids faces...and the bikers.
