Sad news. did not know them but a 31y man and 22y woman(read she was pregnant as well) died after T-boning a car

Double fatal motorcycle collision in Vancouver | CTV British Columbia News

went by the area this past weekend and saw the memorial set up on the corner for them.

looks like the car came through a stop sign and got hit hard enough to be turned around 90 degrees. Looks like quite a hard hit from the damage, wonder what the speed limit was? wonder if the 150hp 929RR contributed to the speed?

Either way terrible to hear, this is why i have a few miles of reflective tape in the post, although actually im not sure that it wouldve helped as the car wouldnt have had its lights pointed at the bike

This happened at rush hour and this street is a very busy 6 lane road. Speed limit is 50km/h but 3 blocks north you cross a bridge that is 60km/h limit and most do 70-90.

the car was either going straight thru or making a left. A dangerous move and if you look at the street view, the city has a sign not allowing left turns at rush hour (for vehicles going north) all this car driver had to do is go 2blocks south to 4th or 1 block north to 1st as these intersections are controlled by a traffic light and much safer to cross.

the investigation will reveal what happened but from comments i read (some in the CTV link as well as elsewhere) the view of the bike was blocked by a bus/truck and i am guessing the car did a rolling stop(cars do it all the time here) - saw an opening and ran for it, with tragic results.
