i don't live far from there, and didn't hear about this on the news

[Bob Denman]

Regardless of the mistakes: let's all hope and pray for a complete recovery for the "rider"...

There is a third possibility

i think stupidity factor just went thru the non existent roof.
i didn't hear about it on the news this morning, wonder why.

[TomB985]

We can guess all we want, but we'll never know the cause. I've never been perfect behind the wheel, and without knowing circumstance it's a bit presumptuous to assume recklessness. Stuff happens, and people make mistakes, even when driving responsibly.

Judging by the damage to the van and T-Rex, I don't think the was going that fast.

[BoilerAnimal]

From the looks of that picture, it appears that the motorcycle had spun and slid backwards into the van. Or am I not seeing it correctly..........my Kindle Fire won't enlarge that page for some reason.

[Bob Denman]

He definitely backed into the Van. Judging by the condition of the rollbar: he shifted the entire rear of the bike over to the right by quite a bit.
Could he have been spinning donuts in the road, and had the last one get away from him? :dontknow:

it's micro-aggresive to speculate what happened, :yikes::yikes::yikes:
what difference does it make :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:
nothing happened :banghead::banghead::banghead:

:D It's the new National Pastime: show up late, and wonder what the other guy did wrong! :D

Is there another article? NY has a helmet law, and that's a pretty easy one for them to enforce. I can't recall anyone riding without one over the years I lived out there...they wouldn't make it far with the police presence out there.

[Chupaca]

We have the helmet law here yet the slingshot drivers seem to overlook it quite often and if loaned they see it as a car...
