With accidents like this, a questions comes to mind: Did authorities give the crash the attention it deserved? Unfortunately, authorities are sometimes quick to write off motorcyclists as reckless drivers before they’ve even looked at the evidence. This can lead to mistaken or incomplete reports which need independent investigations to correct. If authorities were careful to let the evidence speak for itself here, that would be good to hear. It’s just not something I’d take for granted without seeing the actual completed reports.
