If this happened where police say it did, and these preliminary details are accurate, it’s challenging to envision a likely scenario where the westbound vehicle isn’t violating the motorcycle’s right-of-way. However, authorities don’t mention that at all. I just hope this isn’t a case of people immediately blaming a motorcyclist for a crash without actually looking at the facts. It’s an all too common occurrence I deal with, and it takes bringing all the evidence to light to set the story straight. Hopefully those steps are being taken here to ensure the story is being told fairly.
