My hope is authorities are taking the investigations seriously. Frankly, I see too many situations where people brush off motorcycle wrecks because they can’t imagine a rider might fall victim to something beyond their control. Experienced, unbiased investigators wouldn’t rule out anything, likely or not, without clear evidence. My hope is investigators here exercise that level of care, as well.
