Wreck at Jefferson and Bluebonnet involving motorcycle

Anyone know what happened?

Do you even context clues?

Considering how so many people run that red light at that intersection, I can't say I'm surprised. I live near there - people drive so fricking retarded in this area because pissy pants are trying to get to I12 fast. Just a couple of days ago some douche in a SUV used the right turn lane by Izzos/Walgreens to pass traffic through that intersection then cut back into the two travel lanes going towards Airline, flow of traffic was doing near the speed limit. Damn near wrecked into two cars - then cut into the middle turn lane to pass people.

Jefferson and Bluebonnet

Man prayers out to all involved. That intersection has a lip at the top of it and I avoid it on my bike rides -- only because I can't control myself and its dangerous. I used to see how much air I can catch off of it. If you're on bluebonnet and hit it around 70mph, it's like hitting a ski jump. Fun as hell but dangerous. You come up to that intersection at high speed and someone decides to make a right turn on red - you're dead.

Not saying that's what happened regarding this accident -- but I totally avoid it now. The thrill is not worth the reward for me.

I see it all the time. Couple of years ago a dude on a bike was doing 60+ and swerved in that S turn between 10 and Jefferson, clipped the curb and died. Those street lights are magnets for drunks as well.

All I saw was that the bike was red and wasn't a rice rocket.

There was an SUV parked in a nearby parking lot with people standing by it.

Hope nobody died.

You'd go fricking 70 down Bluebonnet?

No. I would go the speed limit until I got to that intersection. Then, In the right conditions with little traffic, i would nail it to jump the intersection. It's amazing how much air you can catch right there. I've pressed my luck enough at that intersection and totally avoid it now when on my bike.

Makes more sense. At least your smart about playing with your own life, i guess.
