Horrific Video - Motorcyclist Killed due to tow line stretched across road.

  •  

    Unbeknownst to the rider, the driver/operator of a tow truck had stretched a steel cable from one side of the road to the other and connected it to a broken down vehicle.  The driver’s cable was not painted any type of distinguishing colors nor was there any people positioned on either side of the cable to be a visual barrier alerting oncoming traffic to the cable. 

    The driver, for reasons unknown, did not position his tow truck in a way that would have partially blocked the road and he did not place any traffic cones out before beginning to work.

    When I watched this video I thought I was watching news coverage of the accident but it turns out this video shows the accident happening clearly. If you have a weak stomach do not watch.
