Look twice save a life.
The driver of the car should get charged with vehicular manslaughter.
heck no
Imagine this was a family member of yours OK? A driver on the road possibly didn’t blinker or simply just didn’t look (something I deal with daily s I drive in Lakewood). They turn, they hit this family member of yours, killing them instantly. You may be right, manslaughter is probably to light of a charge anyway.
The man on the motorcycle was speeding, news reports said he was already in 4th gear on that bike, it’s a very short distance from the light to where he collided with the car. A shame for all involved the man killed was only 18, I can’t imagine how devasted his parents are. Prayers for all involved
Article makes no sense unless cyclist (RIP) was southbound and T-boned car passenger side while car was making a left northbound.
