There are certainly more questions than answers right now, but my main concern is if authorities are going to give this crash the careful, in-depth investigation it deserves. Frankly, any crash involving a motorcycle can present unique challenges. Put simply, far too many people are quick to automatically blame motorcyclists.
Time and time again, I’ve seen situations where people assumed a motorcyclist was being reckless just because they were a motorcyclist. Then, a careful analysis of the facts would set the record straight. While this bias can be overcome, many will try to use it to their advantage if they’re looking to minimize or avoid responsibility for hitting a motorcyclist.
I certainly can’t say what did or didn’t happen here, but it would be helpful to know what all police are looking into here to make sure they can put the whole picture together. Are they pulling cell phone records? Vehicle data? Analyzing debris patterns and markings on the road? Looking for camera footage of the crash? Tracking down and interviewing witnesses? Testing for drugs and alcohol?
If authorities show they’re digging below the surface level details and putting their bias aside, that’s a good sign. If not, there may need to be more thorough, unbiased independent investigations.
