What crazy person!!!
« on: August 28, 2010, 12:58:03 pm »
Was driving my wife and granddaughter this morning 6:45 am and the 401 was closed in Whitby, luckly noticed a sign so I got off
Driving back at 11 the highway was still closed

http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/crime/article/853831--siu-probes-death-of-motorcycle-passenger?bn=1
 Durham police said a motorcycle travelling westbound on Hwy. 401 near Brock St. in Whitby was signalled by a marked police cruiser to stop.

In an attempt to peel away from the cruiser, the motorcycle accelerated and a passenger sitting on the back of the bike was thrown from the vehicle.

The passenger was struck by at least one car and was pronounced dead on scene.

The motorcycle fled the area, said police
.

I can not believe the driver left his passenger on the road  :o

Yeah I read about this on the motorcycle forums.

What can I say, an idiotic thing to do. If there is a passenger riding with you, you are responsible for his/her safety. I am stunned to see that NO ONE stopped. Not one vehicle, and the girl was struck twice.

The world we live in. No one assumes responsibility anymore. RIP

The Star news item does not say it was a girl who was killed.

I wonder what the charge will be against the "driver"   not murder but manslaughter?  He did not actually kill he/she.

 Criminal negligence? he/she had as much chance to hang on as at any other time.  People who are passengers on motorcycles should be aware that violent manoeuvers are always possible.

Dangerous driving ?  For sure but that can't be all

I guess we'll see but it sure is weird behaviour.
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

GTAMotorcycle.com - under General Discussion

I don't have time to read the whole thing, but I doubt they have anymore info than you and I do. It was most likely a girl I've never seen a guy ride as a passenger.

As for the rider getting caught I hope they can incriminate him given that they have little information right now.

Fucktard isn't strong enough, either.  But closer.

She does does not sound to bright
“I suddenly saw body parts on the road,” Howey recalled. “I had to try to avoid them while not causing an accident,” she explained. “There was a head in a helmet on one side of me and part of a body on the other.” She thinks she may have run over an arm in her SUV.

After travelling a little farther, she saw some vehicles stopped and more police cruisers, so she assumed the bike had crashed.

“We didn’t see anything actually happen or we would have stopped,” she said. “I really didn’t know what to do.”

It wasn’t until she watched the news the next morning that she realized the driver of the bike was alive and that he had fled. That’s when she called police to report what she had seen


If she thought she ran over a body parts, you would think she  would have stopped at that time

Must be some easy driving in Ontario.  I drove over at least a half dozen dismembered bodies today.  (Hard to tell exactly how many, as well, they're in pieces...) If stopped for that, I'd spend all my time on the side of the road...

Most drivers/riders who choose to "peel away"...I wouldn't be surprised if the driver was driving without a licence, or one that was suspended or revoked, or driving without insurance.

In any case, what a low life. I wonder what kind of bike he was driving?

http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/crime/article/855407--toronto-woman-identified-as-fatal-motorcycle-victim

It was a Woman...we were wondering around the office.

Quote
Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit has identified the passenger who died after falling from a motorcycle involved in a police chase last Friday.

Ioana Bocunescu, 40, of Toronto, died at the scene after the driver of a motorcycle accelerated sharply and sped away from a Durham police cruiser that was attempting to pull it over on Hwy. 401 near Brock St. in Whitby last Friday.

Bocunescu, who was sitting on the back on the bike, was struck by at least one vehicle, Hudon said. The SIU is called in on all cases of serious injury, death or sexual assault that involves police.

Police have so far been unable to identify the motorcyclist.

Still have not found the driver eh....hopefully the police are building their case really really well and just waiting to arrest this dick. If they really have no idea even after having the name of the passenger to go from.....then Police Intelligence is seriously a laughable term.

Saturday September 4, 2010
IOANA BOCUNESCU Suddenly as the result of an accident on Friday, August 27, 2010. Beloved daughter of Nar uja and the late Mircea Bocunescu both of Romania. Loving sister of Rucsandra Mitrea and her partner Bob Maheu, and Alexandru Bocunescu and his wife Laura. As a fully recovered stroke survivor herself, Ioana was a committed volunteer at the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario. With a university degree in the field of economics (Academy of Economic Studies, Bucharest, Romania), Ioana decided to return to school (Humber College) in order to obtain a degree in Social Services. Her main desire was to help and motivate stroke patients on their road to recovery. Due to Ioana's wishes, there will be no funeral service. Cremation with interment to follow in Romania. In memory of Ioana, donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario would be appreciated by the family.
