I’m sorry to hear that the motorcyclist died, but he/she tried to pass the semi where the right lanes end at a high rate of speed, and in doing so collided with the semi. If you drive a motorcycle, remember everyone on the freeway is always going to be bigger than you.
You witnessed this happen?
Especially if you’re a midget
