Another rider down

[eazyduzzit]

I hadn't seen this guy since high school, but the thing that got to me was that he was exactly where I would have been on my way home at about exactly the same time, if I hadn't taken a detour to the local Harley shop. I knew him when we were kids, and he came to the house to look at a bike we had for sale a couple of years ago. I was at work at the time, but my wife talked to him and let him ride the bike.

The road he was on is always slow moving due to traffic. Especially at that time of day.

It can happen any time. Be careful out there.

 

It was a red Harley, and my wife got a couple of calls from her daughter and a friend asking if she had talked to me that evening (Tuesday) so she called me to make sure it wasn't me.

Sad news.

 

Story is a bit confusing, I wonder what really happened?

"When the driver of the Pontiac attempted to merge left into a turn lane, Arnold locked down the motorcycle in an attempt to avoid a collision, police said. Arnold crashed into the back of the car."

 

Did the driver merge into his lane and stop?

 

Either way, seems odd and very unfortunate that it would cause a fatality.
