That's tragic. Worst MC accident I've seen. Prayers to all those involved.
Sad & horrible, prays for the familys, going that same place in August
I really want to know why/how the driver of the truck crossed the middle of the road.
Apparently even his boss cant reach him because he's not answering his phone. Seems a little suspicious to me.

Ya, I'd like to know the facts of the crash. Was the truck driver on a cell phone/ or was someone messing with a GPS? Which driver drifted over the center line? Were the bikers riding staggered or so close, that if one goes down, then it's like a "domino effect", and they all go down? Many possible scenarios, hopefully we will learn the truth.
Who ever is at fault, I wouldn’t think you could get them on the phone.
Local news is stating the driver is being charged with negligent homicide. No other new details.
My guess is cell phone or OUI.
Hey gents..under these circumstances the driver likely has instruction NOT to talk to anybody except investigators. It's a terrible tragedy but we can't assume anything.
Fox news tonight indicated the driver of the truck has a track record of several DUI's over the past years/months...Bastard was probably drunk!!!!..Regards
Plus they found drugs when they went to arrest him. At least he's off the road for good now. We had a bad weekend around here. That crash up north, one fatality in New Bedford, Mass, and another closer to me in Westport, Mass. I'm in no rush to ride these days. Big change from my previous history. I don't know anymore...
Motorcycle riding has never been a safe activity. It's something we do, because we love the freedom and the thrills of riding. As long as there are cell phones, and other electronic devices for drivers to screw around with, cycle riding will remain unsafe. It won't stop me, just makes me more suspicious and warry of ALL other vehicles on the roads.
As a retired LEO and traffic homicide investigator, I have worked multi vehicle fatalities more than I care to recall, this is definitely one of the worst I have seen. The driver has a history of impaired driving and heroin use. In all probability he was driving impaired and crossed into the rider's lane. These type of investigations take time and a lot of work. More often than not a good THI will have it figured out pretty quickly, but the final official report can take time. You can count on the toxicology to take 6-8 weeks for everyone involved. The suspect will probably not speak to investigators now that he has been charged, at least not without a lawyer. Since he has been charged it is fairly safe to say he was at fault in the crash.
sad for sure, my heart goes out to all effected by this terrible event.Quote:
