i dont blame the driver, the cyclist had no business going over 130 mph. especially on a crotch rocket. do you know how hard it would be to see motorcycle going 130 mph. even if you did see it. 130 mph is 198 FEET PER SECOND! you look left look right then turn. that process is 5 seconds. = 1000 feet. stopping distance at 130 mph is 14.8seconds = 950-1300 feet. brandon hit the back of the trailer. how can you blame the trucker. my condolances to the family for the loss. his fiancee, and all of US that knew him. ill miss him. but placing blame on someone who is undeserving is not the right thing to do.

So far I haven't seen anyone blame the motorcyclist. The semi driver was almost into his driveway when the motorcyclist hit the back tire of the trailer. Nobody is playing the blame game. This is a tragedy that such a young man has lost his life and my heartfelt thoughts go out to his family.

This accident was not at Trask Bridge intersection. Closer to Pec near the "Buffalo" farm.

I don't think that it is right when people want to sit here and say that it's always the bikers fault because of these fatal accidents. Well not always, cars and semis don't care now days. They don't take second look that may cost someone their life. Those few little seconds of taking some ones life that could have been missed. Everyone now days need to watch out for everyone, their surrounding areas instead of just looking out for themselves.
