Two motorcyclists killed in accident with semi on Highway 85

Remember to always look for motorcycles.

There are far oo many crashes like this where the semi truck turned left in front of the motorcycle. Semi truck drivers and auto drivers have a surprising habit of turning in front of a motorcycle coming and not yielding right of way turning left in front of a motorcycle with no possible way to stop in time. Even in parking lots this happens. Some people say the front windshield can help a driver spot the motorcycle easier but nothing is better than drivers actually taking the time to look and make sure they have the right of way to make their turn.

when a semitruck crossed the highway eastbound on Weld County Road 18, police said.

Police said the motorcycle then slammed into the right front tire of the semi and went under the truck, bursting into the flames.
