Its motherfrickers that text and drive. I wish there was a way to do red light cameras for that shite with a painfully expensive ticket.

Frankly, they should treat it like drunk driving. It's comparably more dangerous.

Family saw it happen. Apparently it was a young girl driving and the guy on the motorcycle may have lost a limb or two in the collision. It was described as a very graphic scene.

This has 2 photos to show damage. This looks pretty bad. I live off Stumberg and I swear some of the biggest idiots drive on it. I think a middle lane could be helpful because I know first hand that people do not break in time for those turning left. Not sure what happened here though

Visible blood behind rear door. Looks like impact from front to back which suggests opposing directions of travel and no t-bone. That is a LOT of damage, good grief.

Baton Rouge has turned into a town full of phone-lookers and tailgaters. Not a good mix.

I don't see it that way. Looks like the car came off of Carrington Place and was tuning to go south on Stumberg. Cycle was also travelling south and slammed into the passenger side of the turning car. I can't tell how far out the car made it before it was hit.

I go through this intersection several times a day as I take stumberg to get to my office. It’s an awful road and intersection right there. Im surprised there are not more serious accidents right there.

The amount of people who try to cross 4 lanes of traffic is insane. People are so stupid... they will take a right on stumberg off of coursey, only to try to take a left through the turning lane and across 2 more lanes of traffic to get in the gas station. They are too damn ignorant to realize that if you go straight on coursey that you can turn right into the gas stations parking lot.

Then you have the idiots who try to take the left out of the side Winn Dixie lane and cross 4 lanes of traffic to head towards tiger bend. All of this shite happens during the highest traffic times. It’s a terrible place. Like was said earlier, they need a turning lane at worst. Could also use those those traffic post deals to keep people from turning across 4 lanes of traffic at that intersection.

All you have to do is watch when your at a red light, I’d bet 60% of the people driving through the intersection are looking down on their phones.

This is definitely true. Notice it every time I come back for a visit.
