this is one of my good friends, friends. I don't know him but heard he is in serious shape in ICU. Healing thoughts being sent. Heal up fellow rider.
So sorry to hear this. I hope he is able to make a full recovery, without significant damage to his financial health too.
With cell phones, entertainment systems and cars that are so quiet on the inside, I think this is happening more often than it used to.
Heal up rider.
I also live down the road and that intersection is no worse than others in the area. For whatever reason it sounds like the mini van "didn't see" the moto. It's discouraging that this happens so often despite all of the ad campaigns and attempts to educate drivers.
