It's such a shame. I was riding in downtown Fairborn and the light was green for a good bit. (I was about 200 feet away from the intersection) Next thing I know, a car come driving through it, like their light was green. Even when mine is green, I always look to see if someone doesn't look like they are going to stop.

I agree. This is the sort of " accident" that kills all of us. We push it off saying that it won't happen to me but it can. The rider even tried to lay his bike down to save himself. We need to make a stand, together, and do something about this. I am tired of hearing about accidents that could of been avoided. I love to ride and I don't want any person, in a hurry, having a bad day, killing me.

She's been charged with Vehicular Manslaughter.

OK, here's what I got... She's been dinged for ORC2903.06A4 (M2/Vehicular Manslaughter) and ORC4511.42 (MM/Failure to Yield). Next hearing is a pretrial conference before Judge Mark R Bogen on October 5th at 1pm at Lebanon Municipal Court.

And she's not blond.

EDIT: Duh me. There's a news story on it. http://www.middletownjournal.com/news/crime/woman-charged-in-fatal-crash-256238.html

A Maineville woman was charged Monday, Aug. 17, with vehicular manslaughter following a fatal motorcycle accident last week, according to the Lebanon Municipal Court.

Kristina Tedesco, 35, 294 Bannock Drive, Maineville, was charged with one count of vehicular manslaughter, a second-degree misdemeanor following an Aug. 6 accident that took the life of Bradley Bachelor, 34, of Lebanon.

According to Ohio State Highway Patrol Trooper Rob Waulk, Bachelor was driving a 2003 Suzuki motorcycle shortly before 10:30 a.m. south on Stubbs Mill Road in Turtlecreek Twp. when Tedesco, who was heading north on Stubbs Mill Road, attempted to turn left onto Cook Road and pulled out in front of Bachelor, causing him to collide with her 2007 Chevrolet Equinox.

Bachelor was transported by ambulance to Bethesda Arrow Springs Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

Waulk said Tedesco told troopers she was talking on her cell phone with her husband when she struck Bachelor. Tedesco told police she was coming from the Clarksville area and had gotten lost due to Ohio 123 being closed east of Lebanon, Waulk said.

A bond hearing has been set for 2 p.m. today, Aug. 20 at the Lebanon Municipal Court.

Oh it's okay, the rider is gonna plead "not dead":rolleyes:

I'm sure her lawyer entered that plea for her - as you'd expect him to do.

If the victim was in a car and wearing a seatbelt they might be alive.

And all of you finger pointing.....HYPOCRITES!!!!!

The fact is...drivers make mistakes all the time, and cellphones make it more dangerous, but when you ride a motorcycle, you should sign a paper accepting the fact that there is almost ZERO room for error, and your life choice, regardless of whose fault it is, is a RISKY choice.:wtf:

:mad:[rant]I'm sorry, this comment is eating at me like a flesh eating virus! I can't help but wonder if the person who posted this would feel the same way if it had been someone in an amish horse and buggy, a person on a bicycle, or a pedestrial on the street who'd been killed?

Maybe they should have said, "You know walking outside your front door is dangerous, pedestrians should be made to sign a paper accepting the fact some idiot might run there ass over because a driver is busy playing with the gadgets in the captains seat of their cage!" The wonder lust of hoping into the cage and being magically transported over any obstical. I see it on the bike and in the car. People with eyes open and brain off driving down the road disconnected from what is around them and what they are doing.:rant:

Please keep this thread updated on where and when everyone is meeting at. Can't commit to making it but I will definitly try.
