So criminal charges are being looked at… well they should make it a crime for people to ride motorcycles. you are just asking for things like this to happen. 99% of bike owners drive like idiots and then pretend it is other people on the road that cause accidents. i am a FORMER harley owner and will never get on a bike again after watching someone wreck and die! get a clue! at least wear a helmet. Get mad at this post if you like but maybe it will save one person!
I bet the driver of the motorcycle feels bad enough! Isn’t his wife the one that died?
