Inexplicably? Usually it means you weren't watching where you are going..........
One of the best fights of the decade, and undoubtedly the highlight of Corrales' career. His win over Joel Casamayor in '03 was also a high point, and gave him recognition. (Corrales lost both rematches, it should be noted).
All in all a pretty good boxer. .....and extremely tall for his weight. Almost looked like (a less talented) Sandy Sadler.
Never liked ole Hector. Very killed defensively, but an extremely boring fighter with little power. ....and an aversion to mixing it up. Macho, he ain't. But he sure liked to talk.

Corrales was driving a 2007 Suzuki 1000 motorcycle,... when it inexplicably struck the back of a 1997 Honda Accord
"The Suzuki 1000s always were a bit twitchy." < /obscure Aliens reference >
God bless him and may his spirit rest in peace! He was the ultimate warrior who would always either triumph or go out on his shield. We’ll sure miss him.

....Police reported that at 7:22 p.m. Monday, Corrales was traveling northbound on two-lane Fort Apache Road north of Mesa Vista Avenue “at a high rate of speed,” according to a witness.
Corrales attempted to pass a northbound 1997 Honda Accord when he “saw [a] southbound Mercedes and got back into the northbound lane,” Det. William Redfairn wrote in a news release.
Corrales, realizing he was riding too fast and too close to the Honda, slammed on his brakes, police said.
“There was a huge skid mark there,” said Leonard, who visited the crash scene Monday night.
Corrales lost control of the motorcycle, striking the rear of the Honda and sending him off the motorcycle, which skidded into the oncoming Mercedes.
