Ugh, hate to hear stories like this. Completely freak accident and we always have to watch out for other people not paying attention.

OMG! i hope her kids didn't hear it take place on the phone. how awful! :(

Damn... That's Horrible! RIP. Constant vigilance....

I thought the same thing...:(

Worse still if they had called her, causing her to pull over to talk...and all because of one moment's inattention by another.

So sad.

My understanding was that the older son did hear it and was able to call for an ambulance I met the guy once, he is in his early 20's, so its not a child that will grow up thinking he killed mom.

I don't know the whole story yet either, I expect details to come out as the week rolls on.

The thing that really stands out in my mind is that the bus driver was charged. If it was a simple accident then there shouldn't be any charges, but if the guy was drinking or actually negligent in some way then yes.

maybe the driver was on the phone or something like that, guess we will have ot wait and see. I needed to pull over on the bike the other day and was making an extra effort to find a spot away from the traffic just to avoid this sort of thing. :(

Im sry to hear that. That really is a sad thing.
But that is the reason i use Bluetooth i never have to stop riding.

I'm thinking that if you are a bus driver, and you run over and stop on top of a motorcycle, and don't really notice... yeah, there is a problem there and charges need to be filed.

RIP rider and soldier.

well, i guess it's somewhat of a relief that her children aren't small. but still, what a tragic loss.

How the hell does that happen?????????
RIP
