Driver pleads not guilty in Vermont crash that killed actor Treat Williams
A Vermont driver has pleaded not guilty to a charge in the June crash that killed actor Treat Williams
An investigation of the June 12 crash in Dorset concluded a vehicle pulled in front of Williams, who was riding a motorcycle and was unable to avoid a collision, Vermont State Police said.
Koss was turning left into a parking lot in an Honda SUV when he collided with Williams’ oncoming motorcycle, police said. Williams, 71, of Manchester Center, was pronounced dead at Albany Medical Center in New York.
Note from me:
One thing they teach us in the MSF course is how easy it is for a driver to misjudge the closing distance of a motorcycle and assume there's time to turn. If you see a bike coming, take an extra second and be sure - we're smaller and look farther away at first glance than we often are.
As someone who drives for a living and tries to be very aware of the motorcyclists in the area, thank you for your note. I'll add it to my "Don't kill a motorcyclist" checklist.
(god I hope that doesn't sound sarcastic)
Someone piloting a 2 ton death machine: I didn't know I could kill someone! It's not my fault I killed them!
Narrator: It was entirely their fault.
you dont think were already being cautious?how many motorcycle accidents do you think were on purpose. how about dont intentionally put yourself in a really fragile state then come up with, make sure youre super careful cuz i wanna take my skin machine high speed so i can feel the wind against said skin machine. people are over worked more tired and distracted than ever. your choice to travel unprotected
It’s a driver of an automobile, nothing will be done. !fuckcars@lemmy.world
