Santa Rosa moto fatality

[GAJ]

As I know the intersection I was afraid the speed of the moto might have been the main factor and today the updated the story.

RIP Mr. Morales; condolences to family and friends.

I got a few phone calls yesterday from friends checking in with me as they know I commute early in the morning.
RIP Mr. Morales.
Either this is an RIP thread or a crash analysis but not both.

My G/F had to drive right by this yesterday as it coincided with the one day a week she needs to be in the office. She described an ugly scene before I had a chance to see the article later in the day. It seems they both had green lights and speed was likely a factor which hits home here because I am capable of similar behavior.
My thoughts are with those he left behind and the driver of the car who must have his own level of trauma to deal with.

I didn't post the original story that failed to point to a possible cause.

But my fears turned out to be true sadly enough.

RIP to the rider. Always hard to see another one of us down, even harder when it's closer to home.
