I saw someone die today 15 feet away from me. I stood there totally helpless, shocked by the chaos around me. Someone in front of me pulled out on a sport bike and the sport bike T-boned the SUV. I filled out 2 police reports and did a recorded interview with the crash investigation team. I'm still shook-up by the whole event. The bike rider was my age and build. The person who pulled out in front of him was a lady in her late 60's/early 70's. She said didn't see the bike.
About 30 minutes before this whole nightmare happened I was at work looking at motorcycle reviews on YouTube and dreaming of a good lunch. So the lesson for this whole incident is stay aware of your surroundings when riding. Watch the cars on side streets extra good. I know it's a risk riding and we've discussed this before, but it still is a horrible experience when seeing a rider go down and.....
I later remembered I have a dash cam in the car. I swapped vehicles with my wife before driving into work today. I pulled the SDmicro card and secured it in my book bag. I contacted the police crash team and hope that 1) The camera actually worked. I can never keep a connection to the dash cam with my phone. And 2) If it actually recorded then it helps someone somehow.
