    Just going way too fast and the driver of the cage shouldn't have turned in front of him. A case of two misjudgements resulting in one bad accident . . . very sad.

    Driver probably couldn't judge the difference

    This driver turned right - but either way it was a bad call. The biker was driving quite recklessly and this time it cost him his life.

    tis, josh, the cage turned across the riders lane
    in the US it's a left, in the UK it's a right...
    same thing though...

    If he'd been doing the speed limit he'd be alive
    most likely.
