Scruit Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 (edited) It's rare for a car occupant to die in a car/bike accident. First guess would be that either the bike was going fast enough to torpedo the car, or the car lost control and was involved in a secondary collision after the collision with the bike. RIP. Gotta be a pretty hardcore biker to be on the road at these temps. EDIT: http://www.10tv.com/content/stories/2013/10/28/columbus-motorcylce-crash-westerville-road.html Car turned left in front of biker. Unknown who was at fault (traffic light status etc) Looks like the bike torpedoed the passenger door. Anyone know the speed limit on Westerville Road at Albert Ave?

Bad324 Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 I don't know the intersection in question but my first thought was the bike t boned the car directly in the passenger door hard enough to cause some sort of head trauma to the passenger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowdog Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Karma. Pretty sad though that this thief took and innocent life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Amazing how that little snippet of information changes the whole situation. from "RIP rider" to "good riddance bike thief" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekClouser Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 We all know the risks of high speed on a motorcycle. We don't punish those who steal bikes with the death penalty, so I don't believe he got what he deserved. I'd honestly have preferred he got caught and had to face the people from whom he stole from and then had to sit for however long behind bars regretting it. Especially sad that an innocent life was lost as well. RIP to both parties involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
