The authorities said that at the time Bosyo approached the intersection of the highway with Highway 25, the motorcyclist was traveling south on the latter. The truck driver then entered the intersection against the red light that signaled for him to stop.
The act caused the man to collide with the motorcycle, leaving its 49-year-old rider with extensive injuries which he died from. The collision is under investigation, and the authorities will provide updates when they have more information.
In an accident of this nature, investigators try to find out who has the highest liability before recommending to the District Attorney a criminal charge. California traffic law is clear that all drivers must obey traffic lights and signs for their safety.
A driver who breaks that law will get a ticket and a warning if no accident occurs. If there’s an accident resulting in grievous bodily wound or death, then the offender will face a criminal and civil lawsuit. The former for vehicular manslaughter, and the latter for wrongful death or personal injury. In either case, the person would require auto accident attorneys for representation and legal advice.
