Any fatal crash like this warrants a careful and unbiased investigation, however I always have to emphasize “unbiased” when the crash involves a motorcycle. The unfortunately reality is a lot of people just think the worst of riders, and many jump to conclusions before any of the facts are clear. I’ve even had cases where we had to correct the authorities because an officer let their negative opinions impact their investigations. Hopefully, authorities here have been careful to let the evidence speak for itself. If they haven’t, there may need to be another look at the facts to definitely say what happened here and get the victim’s family the answers they deserve.
