Yamaha’s Tech3 team upcoming weekend at Le Mans has started in a very tragic way. One of their trucks was invovled in fatal accident that caused the death of a 54-year old motorcyclist at the La Ciotat toll booth on the A50 highway in France.
The driver of the semi-trailer for some reason which still has to be determined by the police, backed up at the toll booth and hit the biker that was waiting directly behind him, trapping him under his truck and dragging him backwards for over 10 meters without ever realizing the presence of the motorcyclist. Despite immediate medical help the biker died on the spot of his injuries. The driver is now in custody and should be prosecuted for manslaughter. |

Escape route! Definitely. Watch your lane position, other vehicles blind spots, and never take anything for granted.
RIP

And, after thinking about it - when in doubt and you see a semi backing up onto you. LEAVE THE BIKE.

It's like a game for me. I'm always thinking of ways to escape my current position when I stop. I also stop to the far side of the land so I can just go around if I need to.
