Major Accident: Granville & Broadway
 

Anybody else see the Motocyle ramming into the Nissan Versa around 9:45pm?

The bike was heading North, and the car was heading East.

There was alot of debris and I saw a pair of lady's flat shoes and a mens runner on the floor.

Cops were measuring the skid marks and examing the car.

The versa had the passenger side curtain airbags delpoyed with scrapes and dents all the way up to the top corner of the roof.

I believe the driver and passenger on the bike is probably dead (RIP), The driver in the nissan was probably ok.

The entire intersection was blocked off with yellow tape.

I think it took 3 hours to clear the Intersection.

So who ran the red light?

I have no idea.
I wasn't at the scene when it happen.

I guess we'll see it on the news paper.

I just found this and it said the car fled the scene.

I can't beleive that. how did the driver flee the scene at such a busy street.

i arrived at 9:55. I saw the aftermath. Disturbing none the less.

wow..

driver who fled is going to be SOL when caught, especially if bikers died

RIP...

if some people would read, they'd know that no one died yet....

Fucking left turning cars as usual..... I don't know about other riders on here, but every single time I come up to an intersection if cars are turning left I brake down to under 50km/h in the city.... see a lot of riders gunning it through intersections probably the worst thing they can do :(

hopefully the bikers pull through and the guy that hit them is caught and sued for everything he/she has

Yea, its usually bikes colliding into left turn laners. But makes me think, is it the cars fault, or the bikes usually speeding? I mean come on, bikes are harder to see and easier to speed. Bikers should learn to ride with common sense as well.

Shit that scared me.. I didnt see the part about a woman being on the bike..
I just know that around that time my buddy would have been going through that area on his bike to get to work.. was just about to call him

Anyone who took a rider's course knows that unlike a car, you absolutely do NOT run yellows on a bike.

With that said though, nobody knows what happened. For all we know, the bike had a green and some drunk driver ran a red, unless they were able to get witnesses.

Hoperfully the rider + passenger were wearing full gear. Otherwise they're in for a whole world of hurt.

where does it say the driver got away?... none of those links say that.

hopefully the rider and passenger pull through

i even slow down in my car, too many fuck-wads out there that are retarded and couldn't judge the speed of a snail crossing the road.

word. cause if a left turner doesn't get you, a right turner could!

Was leaving Joey's shortly after this happened. Almost got trapped into my parking spot by an ambulance. Had no idea it was this severe. Hope the couple pull through.

Kev

saw a guy trying to cut into the emergency lane to make it to a right turning lane up ahead of me and when doing so almost took out a motorcycle that was driving between the cars and the emergency lane (near the location of the crash), was pretty scary


i cant stand left turners... they're always misjudging the room/time they have to turn... just wait a few more seconds for clear traffic or even the light... no need to risk a fuckin accident

i was driving by the area and pulled over to see what all the police lights were all about.

apparently (info gathered from witnesses at the scene) the bike might have been racing a black bmw. the bmw clipped the bike which then hit the versa. the passengers of the bike flew about 10 meters and the woman passenger was not wearing a helmet. and the bmw sped off..

almost got hit last week going down 4 road and blundell, luckily I always slow down before this intersection.

not really related, but i saw quite a bunch of cops on close to Bridgeport and Sea island way, it was around 10:00pm and it was quite the commottion, anyone know what happened there?

^i think roadblock?

Versa driver was prolly drunk...

I can't stand drivers that run a late yellow. Slow down before the intersection = lower risk of an accident.
