Cincinnati Woman Dead After Motorcycle Strikes Her Vehicle
When most people think of motorcycle accidents, they picture mangled bikes and motorcyclists without helmets thrown off their vehicles. But sometimes, the victim of a motorcycle accident is the person in the other vehicle, as this story from Cincinnati shows:
The motorcyclist who hit and killed a woman as she pulled her 2004 Chevrolet Cavalier into her driveway Sunday night was doing “wheelies” just before the crash, according to a 911 phone call released Monday morning.
[The victim] was turning left into her driveway in the 7000 block of Ohio 128 just before 5 p.m. when a 1999 Honda 900 RR motorcycle headed in the same direction hit the driver’s side, according to the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office.
She was pronounced dead at the scene.
While the motorcyclist was thankfully unhurt in this story, his reckless actions still cost an innocent woman her life. Apparently, this man had a history of reckless driving on his motorcyle; before this accident, he had been ticketed for speeding more than once, as well as driving an unsafe, overweight vehicle.
This story serves to teach us a very important lesson about road safety- there is never a good time to drive recklessly, and it's not always our own lives at stake. Even if you drive a small, seemingly harmless vehicle like a motorcycle, you can ruin your own life, or the lives of others, if you aren't careful. Weaving in and out of traffic, speeding, or just goofing around could be the last thing you ever do.
