Slow Mo, very cruel comments on this accident. Phil was my friend and a very careful driver. He did not expect to be priority 1 as you so coldly say. He was in the right of way when the other driver pulled out suddenly on him. Phil was 57 years old and a very good family man. You tick me off! Now there is a window, a loss of life and many friends and family heart broken. Your an idiot!!!

Also @ lawless. I have many who ride as I used to myself. Just because a biker goes down while a car is at blame or part of the scenario.. im tired of the drivers always being blamed. I have watched daily bikers fly down that road, while being inches off of cars asses. Being aware goes both ways. When i bought my first bike i knew my chances of getting hurt on the road more than tripled. Accidents do happen daily. But being a biker does not make you priority #1 on the asphalt

Make that turn everyday. The construction cones and other factors blocking your field a vision on those turns prove very dangerous. So wishing ill on the driver without full knowledge of what happened on both ends is pointless. Sorry a man lost his life.

@ Lawless
Please explain your comment (For a year and a half, I’ve been waiting for surgery because the insurance commission here in Florida cares nothing about bikers.) Your insurance company should be paying your medical. Not saying you fall into this boat but a lot of people just get the bare minimum of insurance that really doesn’t cover anything. Without knowing more about your statement I can’t comment any further. Also you can’t get blood out of a turnip so a law suit against someone who has nothing is pointless. Hope you get your surgery will be praying for you.

Open your eyes! My condolences to the Woodruff family. I’ve ridden motorcycles all my life and was never in a serious accident until I came to Pensacola fours years ago. A year and a half ago, I was hit head on by a pickup on Chemstrand Road not very far from this accident scene. For a year and a half, I’ve been waiting for surgery because the insurance commission here in Florida cares nothing about bikers.
This guy will probably get off Scott Free! Not Fair!
Look Twice! Save a life!
We are a tight and close culture of people… We ride together at some point and we become family to each other… If people who don’t ride would simply pay attention and leave phones, radios, and other distractions alone, this would happen less often.

One evening my husband and I were heading to get supper when the car in front of us hit a car that had stopped at a stop sign, but pull right out in traffic. The car in front of us was within about 75 feet from the intersection when the white car pulled out. It must have been a laps of judgement, not paying attention, or just thought they could beat the traffic. It happens. Watch cars all around you. I slow down at intersections, even when I have the right away. I always told my sons and now granddaughter, “watch the other drivers”.

I love how “was stopped at a stop sign on Bowman Ave” turns into “ran a stop sign” people are so quick to jump to conclusions…maybe Linda should wait until the investigation is over before she hands down a life sentence on this poor guy!!!

It’s never an accident, every time you get behind the wheel or handlebars you are responsible, you are responsible for all of your actions, reactions and outcomes. To say “motor vehicle accident” is wrong and a misnomer, it is a wreck and someone is responsible. I’ve been riding motorcycles for 5 decades, I can’t count how many times I’ve been cut off, have people left turn in front of me, etc, etc, etc. I got tagged by a car in Cordova mall parking lot by a woman who had her eyes on a parking spot instead of me. No, it’s not an accident, someone caused it
