Commentary on Motorcycle, Truck Accident on I-580 in Castro Valley

There isn't much information about what happened here, and I can only hope steps are being taken to investigate things properly. Quite frankly, I find too often that people are quick to assume a motorcyclist was being reckless just because they're a motorcyclist. Just because some riders out there are reckless doesn't mean they all are. In fact, I've seen first hand just how devastating the drivers of larger vehicles can be due to their inattention. As such, it's important that experienced and unbiased investigators look into these events so the victim's loved ones at least know they're getting the full story. Are those steps being taken?
