Unhappy Deadly Motorcycle Crash

This is a scene you don't see everyday...


This was the link yesterday
http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/B...t/-/index.html

That reported is an ass. Acting like it was the biker's fault!!

The survalance film clearly shows the car turned in front of the bike. I can tell you cause I use to drive here daily. The bike was probably coming off I-94 freeway, there's an exit right there dumping into the flow the bike was driving.

Now today there is a new report

AMEN to that cop.

PEOPLE WATCH OUT THERE ARE MOTORCYCLES EVERYWHERE!!!

And I'm sick of hearing about the helmets!!

It looked like the bike blew a light to me...The traffic was flowing the same way as the car.

RIP.

That's what it looked like to me at first, too. I actually thought the bike crossed traffic behind the white truck. But after watching the video a few times to be certain, I finally saw the bike come flying down the road from the left hand side, going the opposite direction the car was headed. The car turned left in front of the bike, but the bike hit the car so fast and hard that it spun the car around and flipped it on it's side.
