Police said there was video of the crash, but they do not say who had the right-of-way nor if charges are pending.

That’s a pretty big detail to leave out of the stories. Perhaps authorities are withholding certain details, or maybe the video didn’t have a good view of the lights and only caught the crash itself on video. My hope is simply that the crash is getting proper attention. I see too often how folks will jump to conclusions when it comes to motorcyclists. They can make mistakes, of course, but assuming so without evidence is just irresponsible. The victim’s loved ones deserve to know they’re getting the full story, and that means they’d need to hear a lot more than what little is in the news right now.
