we met at box hill yesterday and were coming back home. i was breaking behind a breaking car and he was somewhere behind me. i finished my breaking and then heard a noise, some noise. looked into my mirror and saw him spinning and rotating in the air over the central reservation. had to drive off because his bike was coming onto me.
he hit a lamp post and got tangled up between two rows of armco. his body was wrecked. his kit was useless.
he died later on the way to hospital. he didn’t feel much. he was scared, his eyes were solid shut.
…
then i was arrested for suspicion of causing it. i still have not spoken to his twin brother…
i don’t even know what happened there. saw the skidmark going straight, straight, then right into armco.
Dude I’m so sorry for you! If you need it I’m sure all would be able to participate in a ride out or just mass presence at a funeral if thats appropriate? taking into consideration for family and friends???
Dont worry about the law side of it, I’m sure it was a plain accedent and all will be delt with swiftly and delicately by the police.
Sh!!t im sorry words dont express true feelings towards your loss.
Terrible news, so sorry that you had to witness that.
RIP biker.
…
As for the suspect of causing, again, I think it is just procedure, hopefully there are some other witnesses that will be able to piece together what happened, for both you and the police.
Sorry to hear about this mate. Don’t worry about the police, they are just following the protocols of this sort of incident… Condolences to the family, and make sure you get sorted out yourself! Sometimes the shock can be delayed, and it’s always good to talk to someone about a traumatic event.
RIP. That is just terrible news. You cannot blame yourself, each person rides for themselves. He may have had target fixation on the reservation or simply locked up the front tyre, you’ll never really know. Police need to follow procedures on the accident. Don’t blame yourself, do talk to his twin and just take it easy. Hope things are resolved quickly.
I’m so terribly sorry to read this. I can’t imagine how you are feeling right now but please don’t beat yourself up about this. You couldn’t have done anything to help what happened.
