Chau Ngyuen was riding his motorcycle in West Valley City, Utah when a car made a left-hand turn onto Redwood near 3995 South Saturday.  Even though Ngyuen laid his motorcycle down to avoid the vehicle the motorcycle and Ngyuen slammed into the car and he sustained severe trauma and died.  There was no preliminary evidence of drugs or alcohol use.  Of course the driver of the car told police she did not see the motorcycle or the rider until it was too late.

At the time of writing this blog there were no citations issued and the investigation was ongoing.  I recently posted about a summit held by the government on distracted driving and one has to wonder if the person driving the car was distracted because she admitted to not seeing the motorcycle.  This crash needs to be fully investigated to make sure that the surviving family is fully financially compensated for the loss of Chau.
