This was an excellent job of capturing the scene, showing exactly what happened, and showcasing the responding personnel.

We should probably ban motorcycles… because they crash like this… that motorcycle could have killed him.

If he wants to do himself in, that’s his business. But he could have injured pedestrians as well as motorists. The idiot just HAD to speed! That area is known for speeders, by the way!

It wasn’t that he was going too fast, the turn was too sharp.
