A second fatality in motorcycle accident I posted earlier. A girl driving a pickup truck made a left turn in front of an oncoming motorcycle. Biker hit the brakes, then lost control of his bike, or as bikers like to say "he laid the bike down". Bike collided with pickup, killing the biker and fatally injuring his wife.
It seems that most bikers don't practice emergency braking and maneuvering. Then when they need to use those skills, they often lose control of their bikes just as this rider did. Now, I can't say that he would have avoided a collision if he hadn't lost control, but I know one thing for sure: a sixteen-year-old girl will live the rest of her life knowing she's responsible for the death of two people.
