Brampton rider down

I was waiting to make my left turn onto Bovaird and I saw the green Kawi pull off the line at McLaughlin WB on Bovaird and was thinking his ride looked really good. He seemed to be riding safely, at least off the line and for the next few hundred metres that I could see. I'm still in shock from seeing his ride mangled on the road, and seeing the rider equally mangled lying on the sidewalk. I had my little kids with me otherwise I'd have stopped, but it seemed he had plenty of help - and the emergency response speed was fairly quick. The cops were onsite in less than 7 minutes - not sure about the ambulance. Nothing like this accident to bring the fragility of life front and centre. In any case, I do hope he pulls through. God Speed. Safe riding to you all.

Peel Police - Fatal Motorcycle Collision
Brampton – Investigators from the Major Collision Bureau are appealing for witnesses after a fatal collision, involving three vehicles claims the life of a Brampton resident.

On August 16, 2012, at approximately 8:12 p.m., the victim, a 30 year old resident of Brampton, was operating a 2004 green Kawasaki Ninja motorcycle on Bovaird Drive approaching Edenbrook Hill. At this time the motorcycle collided violently with a 1998 Honda CRV within the intersection which caused the Honda CRV to strike a third vehicle, a Mazda CX9.

The motorcyclist suffered critical injuries as a result of the crash and was airlifted to a Toronto area Trauma Centre, where he later succumbed to his injuries. The driver of the Honda CRV suffered minor injuries.

I hear ya. It's so bad here that almost every intersection has a red light camera. I hope the cameras caught something so perhaps some charges will be laid.

RIP rider. :(
 
RIP, very sad :(. That area of Brampton is very congested and many people are just in too much of a rush or not paying attention. Many riders gather at the Bovaird and McGlaughlin Tim Hortons, very close to home.
 
RIP...........:( If anyone has anymore details please keep us updated.


Brampton has way too many people running redlights. Even redlight cameras don't stop these @#$@%@!. I had a very close call with a redlight running a couple weeks ago.

Ride safe everyone.
 
RIP Rider... As for Brampton drivers these mother f..... need to get more then a god dam ticket its not as if money can bring someone back so maybe these ***** should die the way they kill.. Sorry but I have been hit in a car and on bike and half the friggen time they don't even have ins.. And really sorry I'm not racist but if it was me or someone like me fu.. we wouldnt even get out of jail the next day...

I went to the viewing tonight. i didnt realize who it was until i got the phone call the next day. he was a GREAT guy, full of life and had the best jokes. Time is promised to no one and i hope everyone rides safe.
 
RIP John. I worked with John and just him Wednesday. Great guy - so sad. Hope they get to the bottom of what happened and someone pays dearly for this. No amount of punishment will make up for the loss of his live but a loud message needs to be made to these idiot drivers. Something has to come out of this.
