According to a June 12, 2014, Montreal Gazette article, "Crash was not an accident: prosecutor," the motorcycylist, Andre Roy, who was killed along with his daughter who riding with him on the Harley, was travelling above the speed limit before hitting Emma Czornobaj's car, stopped in the left lane of the Highway 30 in Candiac, Quebec.

However, the prosecutor claimed a swerving truck in front of the motorcycle obstructed Roy's view until it was too late. The Gazette article stated:

“No matter what speed he was travelling at, he had a fraction of a second to react,” [Prosecutor] Chassé said while adding Roy couldn’t have anticipated where the Civic was parked. “Would anyone have expected that?”

Apparently not when one is traveling at 70-80 mph (speed limit = 62 mph).

I ride a Harley and have ridden various bikes since I was a teenager. I’m very cautious and always leave as much following distance as conditions permit. I don’t speed. But, I know that situations could arise in which I simply would not be able to avoid a crash: for example, when a guy pulls out of a parking lot into my lane just after my window of stopping distance has closed. The older I get, the more I think about those scenarios, and the less I ride.

“However, the prosecutor claimed a swerving truck in front of the motorcycle obstructed Roy’s view until it was too late.”

Was, perchance, the truck swerving to avoid the bimbo’s car?
