Jesus H. CHRIST! What in hell is wrong with people! I hope the POS in the truck is found and let the deceased motorcycle rider’s family members and relatives deal with him! This is an example why we MUST have security cameras everywhere . .. and I mean ..EVERYWHERE! Maybe there were some on the commercial buildings on Concord Ave. I hope the police check those out.
Why do you assume the truck driver was a male
The POS in the truck is a POS for taking off, but he isn’t the cause of the accident. They guy on the bike collided with the rear end of the Prius, and he was ejected. Learn how to pass a vehicle safely. At least the driver of the Prius stayed on the scene.
Very sad. I hope they locate the driver of the truck.
