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.

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.
