ANAHEIM, California — Christopher Waldrop, 25, of Riverside was killed Sunday morning after a driver made a left-hand turn in front of his Yamaha motorcycle in front of 295 E. Orangethorpe Avenue, according to a press release issued by the Orange County Sheriff Coroner Department.

About 8:46 a.m., Waldrop was traveling westbound on Orangethorpe Avenue when a 85-year-old woman in a Buick allegedly pulled out in front of the motorcycle to make a turn. Waldrop was unable to avoid the collision. Paramedics responding to the motorcycle accident scene transported Waldrop to Anaheim Regional Medical Center, Anaheim where he died a short time later at 9:24 a.m.

The motorcycle accident is under investigation by the Anaheim Police Department.

“Typically a driver who pulls in front of oncoming traffic to make a turn is liable for the injuries or wrongful death of others if there is a crash between the vehicles,” said Attorney West Seegmiller, founder of the Seegmiller Law Firm. “Traffic going straight through an intersection has the right of way.”

ANAHEIM, California – John Bedard, 45, of East Helena, Montana was killed Tuesday afternoon in a motorcycle crash on the eastbound State Route 91 freeway, just west of the Interstate 5 freeway, according to a press release issued by the Orange County Sheriff Coroner Department.

The 3:15 p.m. crash reportedly took place in the car pool lanes which were subsequently closed following the crash, according to news reports.

Paramedics transported Mr. Bedard to UCI Medical Center in Orange where he succumbed to his injuries about 8:09 p.m. that night. The California Highway Patrol’s Westminster division is investigating the motorcycle crash to determine its cause and who is liable for the death of Mr. Bedard.

The police investigation will seek to find out if there are any other circumstances that led to the crash including whether anyone involved was under the influence of alcohol, drugs or distracted. Also, police are seeking to find out if there are circumstances that may have led to the crash that were illegal or reckless such as speeding.

“Families of victims killed in motorcycle accidents not only have to cope with the loss of a loved one, but later their lives may be forever changed due to the loss of income and other costs,” said Attorney West Seegmiller, a motorcycle rider and personal injury lawyer. “We all pay to have insurance to cover us in case there is an accident because the victims will need money for their medical needs and so many other financial losses.”

The 7:45 a.m. motorcycle collision took place just east of North Kraemer Boulevard in the carpool lane causing minor damage to the pickup truck and the motorcycle, the report said.
