[QUOTE="stealth1, post: 1232006, member: 16192"] I saw this report on the news and it made me wonder. The report is pretty short without very many details. I wonder how they determined the cause of the accident. No mention of any witnesses. Must have been one heck of a speed differential between the motorcycle and the passing vehicle. CARBON COUNTY, Utah – A woman riding a motorcycle on State Route 6 in Carbon County was killed after wind turbulence from a passing vehicle caused her to lose control and strike a guardrail. According to information from the Utah Department of Public Safety, the crash occurred on State Route 6 near mile post 270 around 2:52 p.m. A motorcycle was traveling west when, “…wind turbulence from a passing vehicle caused it to lose control. The motorcycle went off the right edge of the roadway and struck a guardrail.” The motorcyclist was thrown from the vehicle and she struck the guardrail, which caused fatal injuries. The victim was identified as 51-year-old Judy Jones of Price, Utah. It was not clear if she was wearing a helmet.
