[QUOTE="madmike2, post: 516155, member: 151"] We should all take a breath and wait before jumping to conclusions. According to what I read today, the citizen was in process of making a left turn. That particular roadway is 2 lanes each direction with a shared turn lane in the middle. The officer, in pursuit of another vehicle, and at speed, decided to pass the turning automobile on the left. IOW, it sounds like the motor officer hit the left turning car on the left side as they were turning into a church driveway. If true, that means the officer must have gone [I]far[/I] left to pass the turning auto. The impact sheared the front wheel and part of the suspension from the motorcycle. The newspaper (Sacramento Bee) reported that a first responder at the scene said he must have died instantly. SOOOooo, my friends and riding companions, it sounds like this is NOT a case of someone turning in front of the motorcycle (Gee, I didn't see him-syndrome). The CHP has offered the expertise of their "major accident" investigation team. And it is still a very sad tragedy for everyone involved. [/QUOTE]
