FHP states both riders were wearing helmets and that no alcohol was involved in the crash.
The investigation continues and charges are listed as pending.
There was a secondary crash involving a motorcycle very close to the initial crash scene. No information was immediately available regarding that crash.
if he was turning right into Seminole how would the motorcyclist hit the front driver side of the car? I’m confused I’m familiar with the area, but I guess not that familiar :/ regardless it’s a sad situation… hopefully he’ll be restricted with his driving if he doesn’t get jail time 🙁
Most likely crossing northbound lanes to head south
Because of his carelessness, my friend lost her life.
My daughter lost her father – His licence was suspended for a year. That was all.
If the accident was not involving a motorcycle, we would not hear about it. Accidents are called accidents for a reason. Do you see the picture. The driver of the car also has impact damage. Motorcyclists are hard to see. How fast were they going and were they wearing safety gear? Any loss of life is tragic. I wouldn’t immediately jump to condemn anyone, especially without all the details. I am truly sorry for your loss, but that driver is someone I know. He is one of the kindest men I have ever met. He is not reckless or irresponsible. I ask that prayers go up for everyone involved. So sad.
I went to school with jon, he was a great man, he had a lot of friend’s up in the PNW, he will be greatly missed, may he rest in peace, it is a sad loss for both families.
