I may have mis read...but s there a lack of info in that report? 2AM in the morning...on a Sunday. Speed? Who was doing what? Crothch rockets? Goldwings coming home from a late night church service?
when I want news....I want "who-what-where-when-why".

OK I'll probably get blasted for this...but....
Did I misread the report or did it say that the van went between the two bikes and then when the bikes got beside of the van he swerved and ran them off the road? Now the driver of the van is absolutely at fault...but...a van weighs what? 3600 lbs..and a bike maybe 800? simple math the bike loses....why would you ride up beside a guy that just tried to run you over already once....I truly feel for the bikers families...but just seems a little common sense might have prevented this...just my .02 cents...just remember macho will get your azz dead on a bike .....quick
OK feel free to flame away...

Yes....I saw the video. It said something about 'road rage'. What was the cause?
If a van just starts flashing lights and crashes into motorcycles at 1:30 in the morning.....that is terrible. Was alcohol involved? What kind of bikes? Where were the bikes coming from? (church? Gang meeting?)
Like I said, sorry to hear of death......but there are details missing (oh....he wasn't wearing a helmet.)
Good reporting.

My prayers go out to his family. Very sad.

The way I read it was that the van went between them, and while he was between them swerved and hit the one on the right. I didn't get the impression that the bikes went after him, but I could be wrong.
