Fatal Spyder Collision in Quebec yesterday

[Monique]

Below is a link to the French news clip that aired - the video clip shows the force of the impact (ignore the commercial at the beginning) . The passenger who died was a 50 year old woman - her husband who was driving is in serious but not life threatening condition.

A group of 3 Spyders was out for a ride on a secondary two lane highway in Stoneham, Qc. A vehicle coming in the opposite direction made an illegal passing maneuver, never saw the Spyders and struck the third Spyder in the group killing the passenger. Police are still investigating.

My condolences to the family / toutes mes sympathies

Be careful out there mes amis!

This kind of thing is never good, very sad. We are all so vulnerable on our machines, whether it be two wheels or three.

[DynamoBT]

How very sad. Her husband, family and friends have my sympathy. I hope the husband recovers fully.

[Raptor]

Very sad

This is one reason I push MCRSC even though it may not have done any good here but they do push ways to make us more visible as well as other tips that may save your life. taking a course is a small thing to do that may help that you never have this happen. In No way do I say the riders are at fault here.

May GOD hold them and theirs right now

Agreed. My thoughts and prayers are with the families. This is a tragedy that just leaves you shaking your head. Sometimes things happen that are just out of our control. Praying also for a full and speedy recovery for the gentleman who survived.

My condolences to the family. I hope the husband has a full and quick recovery.

Oh man that's horrible! My thoughts go out to those involved along with their families! Sucks that people who obey the law and having a good time have to be the ones who have to pay the price for someone else's stupidity! (illegal traffic maneuver!).

[Eddie]

Very sad !!! Just goes to show we never know.

[groundeffect]

I ws not able to view the video for some reason, but my prayers also go out to both families. Things like this are a huge tragedy and have a very strong and lasting impact on everyone involved. I also wish a full recovery for the gentleman.

[dltang]

So sad to ready this kind of news, prayers for the family and friends and prayers for total healing.

[SpyderGirl]

Very sad to hear.

[Director]

A very sad story indeed, yet another example of a vulnerable road user paying the price for the stupidity and inattention of someone else. Remember that as safe and stable as the Spyder is, all brothers and sisters who ride on two or three wheels are very vulnerable and lives can be changed or even ended in a split second. Let's all be extra careful out there.

Unfortunately, one never completely recovers from something like this, physical injuries heal, emotional scars last a lifetime. I lost my wife in an accident in 2008. My thougts and prayers go out to the survivor and those that witnessed the accident.

Very sad. my condolences and prayers to those touched by this.

Condolences from the 51st state.
Bikers are always on the danger list on the roads, so be careful out there.

[Dragonrider]

Condolences - no one deserves that.

I speak four languages, but not that one....

[Blue Star]

Very sad, and sorry to see this happen. May God Bless all involved.

As OTR drivers wife and I see stupid moves all day, every day. Only takes a second or less to ruin lives... Prays and best wishes to the Families. Life will never be the same.
