The Deseret News reported today that 18-year-old Alma Brown is in critical condition after his motorcycle crashed into a semitrailer. The crash occurred at 2850 N. State around 7:00 pm. Brown was reported to be traveling north and according to witnesses was speeding and recklessly driving in and out of traffic. The article says that Brown crashed into the left rear of a car that was hauling a semitrailer. The car was in the fast lane traveling west on 2850 North and was completing a left turn onto State when the crash occurred. Brown was taken to McKay-Dee Hospital in Ogden in critical condition. Police are investigating the crash.
There are a couple of points that need to be made here. First is whether the reporting is accurate. Unless the car was some type of prototype I am unaware of any car that can haul a semitrailer. Second is the report witnesses. Witnesses to a crash are notorious for false reporting especially when reporting on speed of motorcycles. I have a video on my website titled Optical Illusions & Motorcycles that might explain why witnesses mistakenly report the speed of motorcycles. Furthermore, if these witnesses seen Brown recklessly speeding some time before the crash and did not actually see him recklessly speeding at the actual time of the crash their testimony might be kept out of evidence. Motorcycles can accelerate fast and they can decelerate fast and whether Brown was speeding and reckless at the time of the crash is another matter entirely.

 how dumb can you be? written by a guest , January 22, 2010 ok..... so I am the witness to this driving pattern. I was doing 62 in a 55. yes I to was speeding. I heard the sound of a bike go by me. I called dispatch to report a really fast bike. he got about 4 blocks in front of me when he hit that semi. You can post your illusion crap, but up until you see what i saw do not pass judgment. my heart goes out to this family and I have been so hurt since this accident has happened. my kids also so him crash. it was not the semi fault there would have been no way for him to see this poor kid. and how do i hope he is ok.
