Motorcycle Accident Proves Fatal In San Diego

A deadly October 10, 2009 San Diego, California motorcycle accident has fatally injured 42-year-old Debra Louise Allen, who was a passenger on a motorcycle traveling on Highway 94, according to a 10News report. The accident happened on a stretch of a winding hilly road as the driver of the 2003 Harley-Davidson motorcycle attempted to re-enter the lane after passing a bus. The bus then reportedly struck the motorcycle and ran over Allen, crushing her. The unidentified motorcyclist was pushed to the side of the road.

The bus apparently is run by a private charter company and was transporting federal immigration detainees. The driver of the bus told California Highway Patrol officials that he was cut off by the motorcyclist. The extent of the motorcyclist's injuries is not clear at this time.

My deepest condolences go out to the family of Debra Louise Allen, the victim of this horrific San Diego personal injury accident. Please keep Allen's family and friends in your prayers. They have truly suffered a tragic loss. I also wish the injured motorcyclist a fast and complete recovery from his injuries.

Accident Investigation is Key

It is not clear from the news article, exactly what happened in this California bus accident. The driver of this bus may have been accurate in the account he gave officials. It is possible that the motorcyclist had cut off the bus driver. On the other hand, if I were a family member of the accident victims here, I'd want to know more about this crash especially if the accident details seem inconsistent with the rider's experience. I'd want to know if there was any negligence on the bus driver's part that led to this fatal motorcycle crash. Did the bus driver drive in an unsafe manner or drive faster than was safe for the conditions of that winding road?
