Commentary:
Turning accidents can be difficult. I personally know seasoned police officers that have a difficult time determining the speed of a vehicle when it is traveling in your direction. If this vehicle was traveling too fast, the driver of the motorcycle may have assumed that he had enough space to make the turn, but in reality did not. If investigators discover that the vehicle was speeding, the driver of the other vehicle may be liable for the accident.
