At least the driver wasn't painting her toenails.

The woman, whom police have not identified, was cited with failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident, Morrison said. She was also hospitalized following the crash for non life-threatening injuries. You gotta be kidding me...I certainly hope other charges are pending.

Driver Painting Nails Hits, Kills Motorcyclist.

This is why we need representatives to ensure our safety.

We need to ban motorcycles so this will never happen again and yet maintain personal freedoms with an across the board agenda. /s

The death was ruled an accident? What’s accidental about this? If you’re doing your nails while driving any car or truck, the liklihood of being unaware of traffic and possibly killing someone as a result is certainly close to 100%.

Keller said the female motorist told police she was painting her fingernails at the time of the crash and did not notice the light was red.

It wasn't her fault and she shouldn't be prosecuted for a freak of nature incident.

Let this be a lesson to all motorcyclists to make sure they watch their mirrors at traffic lights, keep the bike in gear and cover the throttle and clutch. All but the most anemic bikes have the acceleration capacity to drive out of the way of a potential wreck like this if the rider is attentive.If you’re not first in line at the light, leave enough room between you and the car in front that you can get up alongside if something like this happens. Two cars in a rear-ender generally means ticked-off people and a tow truck. With a bike, a rear-ender nearly always results in an ambulance at best, and a coroner’s wagon at worst.

Make everyone take public transportation. It's only right. And safe. Helmets and knee pads mandatory.

Seriously, though, the driver should get jail time.

"There's a lot of analysis they still have to work out on the vehicle involved in the crash to determine speed and braking," Morrison said Sunday evening. "The investigation is ongoing but there should be charges against the woman in the very near future."

Sometimes I wonder if spokespeople must pass a stupidity test before they get the job, you know, if their IQs are above a certain level they won't be hired. This women has admitted to painting her fingernails and running over the other woman on the motorcycle but this Morrison says that they are going to carefully analyze the situation to determine the cause.

I am almost always amazed by the crap these people say to the MSM.

Zaffke was thrown about 200 feet from her motorcycle ...

Damn. Just damn. This is manslaughter. The driver needs to spend a long, long time in prison.

How come we got the victim’s name, but not the driver’s name? Or did I miss it?
