Was this a direct revelation from God or just some shit you made up?

Either the bike hit the car or the car hit the bike - whatever, so did the car driver just ignore it and carry on?Leaving the guy there to be found by Fulton Hogan worker some time later?

R.I.P – Join the great MC Club in the sky where the fuel and tickets are cheaper.

Theres no cell phone reception at that part of the road, maybe the driver went straight to her house to make the call for help and then the biker was found in her absence?

If you read the first article again, it says the workers found the body at 3.30 and the police press release says the accident happened at approximately 3.25. So once again bad reporting makes it sound like no one looked for the biker right after the accident which doesn't appear to be what actually happened.

Potentially she needed to get her kids out of eyeshot and somewhere safe too....
No one has said whether she checked on him before leaving - lot's of could have options there.

RIP to the rider, we own property up there and it's a nasty nasty road. Has my respect.
