According to N.H. he did not make it…Rest in Peace.
Prayers…this hurts my heart.
More likely to have been fluids from the motorcycle.
It happens to everyone, at least once in their life here! Often it is just trolls, or people with a difference of opinion. Don’t take it personally.
Drat!
Not necessarily. The photo doesn’t show the front of the car. The motorcycle could have been hit on the front wheel by the front of the car, and spun around to hit the side and the door. I once hit a deer on the Pass that had suddenly jumped off an embankment. Fortunately for us both, it slid across the hood, got caught by the antenna, and was spun around hitting the front, and back door according to the massive dents in them. I could see him in my rear view mirror, walking off. He could have easily come through my windshield. We were both very lucky. Except for losing my antenna, and the dents, and his bruises… we both could have died.

This seems like the worst ever cyber rubbernecking. A young man tragically loses his life leaving friends and family behind. A woman now has to live with the memory of a fatal accident. Let it all rest and instead pray for all involved.
Garnering information fights ignorance and is neutral in regard to information content. Stating a fact is not “speaking ill”. Choices & actions testify either way. Over time, their repetition become reputation. Whether this young man would have done better or worse is moot and a reason why early death is so sad. How his family feels and what they knew/permitted/discouraged doesn’t enter into it.
If you look at the photo on Noozhawk that does not appear to be the case as the bike only moved back a couple of feet from the CHP painted impact point and the debris field is concentrated in the immediate area and the rear of the bike is still intact. Had she hit the plastic sport fairing it would have spread over a much larger area and not still mostly attached to the bike.
@Bird – they usually will release details, AFTER they do their investigation. That being said, I’m like you, and would love to get all the details ASAP….. Details might help others to think about their own driving habits.
It’s definitely NOT the time to be posting anything about warrants or any other alleged activities. Please think of who may be reading this before you post. Whether it’s a “fact” or not, it’s irrelevant at this time and in this venue. Have a heart, people.
About time you grew up. Why don’t you all have some sympathy. A young man is dead gone. Leave it!
TAGDES – Thanks. I did just look at the Noozhawk photo, and do understand what you see in it. A friend was riding by on his bicycle, and said that the motorcycle looked like it was “in 50 pieces.” That there was debris from it all over the area. I would still like to see a picture of the front of the car as well. I do hope that a final report is sent out, so we can know what really happened, since we obviously only have information about parts of the incident. And, we are all curious to know how it happened. My heart still goes out to the people and families of those involved.
11:11 – And, there is a woman who has to live with all the ‘what if’s’, no matter who was at fault. A vast majority of the people here have great amounts of sympathy for both of the people involved, and their families. There are just a lot of questions, and even more likely, because a motorcycle was involved. It is normal to want to know why someone died, no matter how old a person is. Hopefully, we will get answers to all the questions.
Wait, let me get this straight. Somebody here took the time to poke around online using the tragically deceased name, in the name of “facts” and “public information.” Yet this same somebody posts anonymously. Why? Do you feel that your own privacy is more valuable than another’s? Come on, spill it. Give us YOUR name, and we’ll see what random “facts” we can post for the general public to consume. Hypocrite.
A googooggle search for ABC109 came back with an ammeter gauge for a tractor….so now we all know you are a non-luminous threaded terminal type with a 2″ diameter hole and stainless steel bezel. You have been exposed…
LOL !
I saw the front of the car in person. It had no damage. It appears that the bike T-boned her.
We have a winner ! That was my conclusion too .
