really, I'm not sure who is at fault, the car for turining in front of the bike or the bike for speeding

Too bad the rider wasn't.

In Ontario right of way laws trump other laws(speeding, etc)

Wow that was a HIT !! I say both at fault.

Unfortunatly, I see the biker being at fault here. He/she was clearly going faster than all other vehicles on the road. However, the car didn't have a turn signal and did not yield. These facts are often communicated in the report from the rider of the bike, however, due to the lack of movement and lack of any kind of first aid action from the bystanders I doubt he is alive. In fact, I have seen accidents like this first hand, and that rider probably has stuff poking out of him in all kinds of directions.

I hate to see bikers get jacked up like that, but it was really his own fault.

Both are at fault.

Really? I mean how hard is it to judge the speed of a moving bike? The bike was hauling ass, and if the car thought he was pretty far away...

the missing piece of the puzzle is the topography from the direction of where the bike came from. If it's a blind hill or a corner then there would be no way to judge.

I didn't notice a turn signal from the car. So failure to yield and failure to use turn signal would be their crime but the bike ultimately held the majority of the fault since he was hauling major ass.

Does anyone know if the rider lived? My guess is no.
