Witnessed a similar thing when I was in high school in 1978-79. In the local hobby shop with a buddy, we heard loud motorcycles outside on the boulevard coming our way. Then a horrendous crash and people outside gasping. We ran outside and down the block to the scene. It was afternoon commute traffic on a four-lane avenue and the two bikes had raced from a stoplight about 100 yards away. They had probably gotten up to at least 80 mph when a 94-year old man made a left turn in front of them in his small Mercury Bobcat (up-market Pinto). One of the riders laid his bike down and went underneath the car, high-centering the car and rendering it unmovable. The other biker had slid into the right side of the car and impacted the top part of the A-pillar with his head. Neither one had a helmet on. As we ran down the sidewalk toward the scene a man who had come outside was throwing up in the gutter. The old man in the Bobcat was trying to move his car by selecting Drive and then Reverse and people were yelling at him to stop trying to move the car. It was a real mess. I never forgot that and years later when I would get cut-off on my bikes by left-turners I would think of that crash. Both bikers died.
