Could have been an accident ,k an animal runs in fornt then the driver attempts to avoid hitting but the animal moves quickly ..
So sorry I would hope that riders would wear the best of helmets and have animal beware whistles attached to their bikes , however we don’t know what took place or why in this accident …
