I heard the rider died, then just got update that he’s in critical condition. Bike is a CBR600RR. Guy works at Keeler, name unknown. A family member at Colonie notified me this morning and updated a little while ago. Anyone else hear about it? I’m sure someone may know him as I know a couple people here work at Keeler ---

If I was to guess according to what my wife told me when she drove by the wreck on her way to work and the picture, I’m willing to bet whoever was going right, went right on red (which is illegal at that intersection for exactly this reason) and got nailed by the oncoming traffic. ---

It looks like its on the opposite side of the intersection (side with the bridge) so it looks like the van turned left onto Old Wolf in front of the bike. ---

Wow, I am so sorry to hear that. 😢 One thing I kept stressing about riding is intersections are death traps for bikers, simply from my shear observation and I am sure the statics will back it up. The amount of people runnning reds, stop signs and, yes, turning right at the “do not turn right when red” sign is abundant. ---

Yeah my sisters boyfriend was best friends with him. He did pass away, it’s a darn shame. It’s the risk that we take every time we get on our bikes, a risk we know and fully understand. I believe it was the bus driver who was at fault after hearing about the accident. RIP fellow rider. ---
