For all our young riders and for others that are just getting into motorcycling
I want everyone to be aware of the dangers of the morning sunrises and sunsets while biking on your roads. Its that half hour when the sun is setting that's blinding to most drivers that's is almost impossible for drivers to see us coming toward them. A tragic accident happened yesterday near Toronto in Mississauga .
Friends have identified a Toronto man and a woman who died Thursday night while riding a motorcycle in Mississauga.
Mike Henry-Wright, 24, of Toronto and his friend Cassandra Tanovich, 22, died after colliding with a car being driven by a 77-year-old Mississauga man, who suffered minor injuries.
Wright died at the scene while Tanovich was pronounced dead at the hospital a short time later.
Peel Regional Police said the accident happened around 8 p.m. on Burnhamthorpe Rd., west of Tomken Rd., according to police spokeswoman Const. Lilly Fitzpatrick
It appears the driver was making a left hand turn and most likely never saw the motorcyclists with the setting sun at 8:15 pm . Everyone please be aware , just because you can see them does not mean they can see you on your bike. My intention is not offend anyone here on this forum
but we have had an extreme amount of motorcycle fatality's this year in Ontario and this one just kind of got to me./
