Failure to Yield the Right of Way
While we do not have all the details in this case just yet, we do know that someone failed to yield the right of way. It is common for drivers making a left-hand turn at an intersection to fail to see motorcycles traveling in the opposite direction that have the right of way. Other times, the driver fails to judge the bike's speed, especially if the rider is speeding.
