Just heard this morning, second rider passed away. Does not look good for the car driver either.

My thoughts really do go out to the families left behind.

Much sadness in the family.

Condolences to the families and friends. Respect to Police, Ambos and Fire in attendance.

Do we know this was a DIC or (no disrespect krash69) are we relying on hearsay?

Terrible, terrible loss of good lives.
RIP

We've all had our near misses.
When we read a thread like this we wish we hadn't, because we feel relief that it wasn't us.
But we also know, more than anybody, that bikers tend to be, fun loving, out going types of people. So when loosing some of our own, we all feel a greater sense of loss than normal!

RIP

The cops are quoted in the Stuff article saying that speed, alcohol & failure to keep left are the main factors. However the alcohol level won't be known until the toxicology results are known, so yes at this stage it is speculation. Although probably quite reasonable to believe that it is accurate speculation.
