Odd that they where both going the same direction and William hit him hard enough to kill him. Maybe a brake check caused it? I am sure thats what LAPD is inquiring about.

Does anyone have any information on the man who was killed in the motorcycle accident at Olympic & Beverly Glen on Monday night? I live on the corner and ran down to help him...curious if there is a memorial or somewhere I can send flowers. :(

I'm wondering the same thing. I drove up shortly after and would like to pay my respects.

The funeral for John McAdams is next Friday at St. Monica's in Santa Monica. He was the person killed at Beverly Glen and Olympic. His family would love to talk to you and have closure. Thank you, Jessica Sonneborn

I'm so glad someone responded to my question. I haven't stopped thinking about him since last week and probably never will. I am so heartbroken for his family and friends.

Does anyone know the details of the accident? Did someone run a red light?
