Motorcycle on Siegen pulls out right behind me to turn left (south bound), truck going north bound flying down the center turn lane like they all do at 5:00pm smokes him head on. Slow the F down on Siegen!

From your description it doesn't seem that speed had much to do with it. Not paying attention was the real problem.

You didn't try to help?

I saw a dead body just after a motorcycle accident back in May. A few people had already stopped to help but we're just standing/kneeling next to the body not even trying to help. Saw the article confirming the fatality later. No other cars involved, he probably just lost control

Did this happen when you posted or earlier?

That sucks. There was a guy on a motorcycle in front of me in Houston on Sunday, and he rode a wheelie for about 200 yards while speeding up to enter the interstate. All I could say was "fall, fall, come on fall."


This isn't really relevant to your story.

Anyone that drives in a turn lane should be jailed for criminal negligence. Don't they realize that this is a two way lane meant for turning only? I've seen so many wrecks because some idiot drives down a turn lane.

Honestly, for the sake of his estate you should stay and make a statement to the police. Because the dick in the truck is going to make up some bullshite to keep himself out of trouble.

This is a pet peeve. These people barrel down shoulders and shared center turning lanes way way too far in advance, to pass other cars as if risking the lives of everyone around them is worth getting to their destination 40 seconds faster. Its amazing how homicidal people are behind the wheel. Its usually males in pickup trucks.

Saw a pedestrian get whacked by a car at about 40 mph a while back. That was a distinctive "thud."

Saw the rescue squad pull a kid out of a lake on some family property. Never really want to see something like that again.

I've seen two motorcyclists die live right in front of my eyes. Both were doing stupid shite, still a haunting image I still carry with me. Super sad and would never let anyone I love get on one without trying my damnedest to convince them not to.
