Bike versus Volvo

This morning I came upon the aftermath of what looked to have been a fairly nasty traffic collision at the intersection of Colorado Avenue and Princeton Street in Santa Monica.

I can’t tell much about what happened. If I had to guess, I’d say the motorcycle struck the Volvo. I’d bet the Volvo was trying to turn left onto Colorado from Princeton and didn’t see the bike. The motorcyclist probably didn’t expect the Volvo to pull out in front of it. The bike must have been going pretty fast when it struck the car as there was a great deal of debris in the street.
