Wow i was just out there riding too. Hope everyone is ok
WILLIAMSVILE, N.Y. (WIVB) - Crews were on the scene of a serious motorcycle crash Thursday afternoon, in Williamsville. The accident happened on Youngs Road, in front of Erie Community College North Campus.
Officials say a female driver of a car was pulling out of ECC to make a left-hand turn on Youngs Road. The motorcycle was headed northbound on Youngs Road.
The car’s driver is at St. Joe’s Hospital with non life threatening injuries.
The motorcyclist is at Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital, with life threatening injuries.
Cagers need to open their eyes.
You hate to hear when it’s another motorists fault, WAKE UP!
For as congested as that road is during the day, speeds are usually fairly slow. Hope he pulls through.
She probably was quite conscious, just staring at her lap sexting.
I’ll hold off on blame until the investigation is done.
Always a safe bet. Speed limits 35 (i believe)… doubt that was the speed of impact…
Ughh, looks like the woman is at fault. Hopefully the motorcyclist is going to be ok.
Yellow cavalier, ECC, girl driver…
Yeah she was fucking texting.
rider was 30yrs old male and has died.
Fuck. Terrible news.

Where are you getting this information from? Just curious?
WGRZ just posted it on their FB.
More of a gripe than placing blame I guess.
is that a yamaha?
Ughh I get a lump in my throat every time I see a thread titled like this. Terrible that its one of the worst possible outcomes.
If we find out that this is a result of what you guys are saying, and what I also assume (Dumb ECC broad texting) THIS IS THE EXACT situation I use to explain how I just cant get on a bike.
In to find out who this is. First place I checked. I know to many people riding bikes in the area.
Not saying it was the case, but lets not jump to conclusions on the accident. She might have pulled out in front of the bike, but being the area, he might have been trying to show off and floor it past the college. Stupid, but people do it. Either way… RIP.

Same, I would have had one a long time ago. I’m assuming it was her fault.
I’m assuming it’s her fault as well, but we can’t be sure yet.
This is the main reason why I sold my bike a few years back. After having a number of friends go down, and recently a few pass away, I just had no desire to ride anymore.
Ugh, and this happened about 1/2 a mile away from where I am working too. So shitty.

My first thought was older Suzuki gsxr… but I can’t be sure.
Waiting before placing blame? Really? A yellow Cavalier, a female driver, and ECC. Sterotypes, they exist for a reason.
