Two this weekend, makes me sad and my heart breaks for their families.
I worry as my brother rides a Harley and been on a back of one and we have been cutoff so many times.
Cars and trucks need to be aware and double check before lane changes.
I did see some of the accident and it look like a small landslide from the hill so I wasn’t sure if there’s a landslide came down and hit the motorcycles or of the motorcycles went up into the hill I called 911 immediately as the accident occurred
I was right behind this there was a blue suv right behind me very very close to me in the carpool lane. I moved over and told my wife what a idiot he is going to cause a accident driving that way. 1 minute later freeway slams stopped and this happen, blue suv was pulled over i pray to god he did not cause this.
I have never seen so many people doing 90+ mph since this pandemic. Why are people so reckless and inconsiderate? SLOW DOWN!
This was a co-worker of mine and a very loved man gentle man. He dedicated decades of his life to City service and I am saddened to know he is no longer with us. May is motorcycle awareness month, so please everyone slow down and watch out for our two wheeled friends.
