So Sad.. and it appears that the car turned in front of the on coming motorcycle. An the motorcycle had the right of way. I fear for those who ride motorcycles for this very reason. One mistake an you can so easily lose your life. Stay safe out there
RIP. Left turn in front of a motorcycle is a common occurrence. Let them finish the investigation, we should not speculate who is at fault.
