He was not rear ended the bike rider was in the westbound turn lane to turn right and the truck came between 2 vehicles to turn on Chandler and his the bike rider as he was turning on Chandler.
Yes, prayers for the driver of the truck, that he finds a good lawyer when the bike rider sues him for being rearended. Bike riders, always assume someone is going to hit you from behind at a stoplight, watch your mirrors for approaching vehicles, tap your brakes so as to flash the tail light, position yourself to one side of the lane & plan an escape route if possible.
Prayers for the young man on motorcycle I witnessed the accident and called 911 I was surprised and pleased with the response time of the police, fire and rescue some one arrived while I was still on with 911. Prayers also for the driver of the truck
