I don't ride, but have several friends that do. I do watch for them, but motorcyclist need to ride responsibly. A tragic accident.

Go out to all involved.. So sorry to hear of any fatal accident.
Watch out for each other and please everyone drive carefully!

No kidding. Not necessary, at all.

Please take off the picture of the shoe. I couldn't imagine seeing my loved one's shoe on the front page, especially at a time such as this. You could cause someone to go into cardiac arrest or worse!

Excellent photo journalism or not, it is not a part of the story that needs to be told. It is ill-advised and inappropriate, especially within hours of the wreck occurring.

You might as well post a picture of one of the rider's body parts laying in the road.

Sincere condolences to the rider's family and friends.

Twenty five years ago I was that girl. Husband died exactly the same way. Think about what she will see. Prayers for all of you.

Judging by the type of bike, it was probably a younger guy. We all see them on Egan, on occasion and usually a nice day, going way to fast, and hope they get sense before they die. Tragic loss for Mom, Dad, siblings, friends. One can't help to feel for them even when you don't know them.

Obviously Mr. Blatnick. And also his girlfriend. And his family and friends.

And let's not forget Ms. Hosey. She'll re-live those moments for the rest of her life.

People make mistakes on the road. Happens every day. But when there's a motorcycle involved, the consequences quickly reach tragic levels for all involved.

You must be kidding me! This was a tragedy and for anyone to comment on a delay in their commute is beyond heartless. I sat at my home on Glacier Ave and watched traffic backed up all day. Not once did my thoughts go anywhere but to the tragic loss of that young mans life. This accident surely will affect all involved for years to come. I can't imagine what the familys are going through as it brought tears to the eyes of those who witnessed the accident. Have some compassion will you and please do not post rude hurtful comments!

That's how I read it. Not sure about the part with the motorcycle slowing down then speeding up. That may be a significant factor.

But like I said above, regardless who made the mistake, the results quickly become tragic with a motorcycle. Had he been in a car, it likely would have been fender bender, with a couple totaled cars. Perhaps some injuries.

Even with headlights on, motorcycles are harder to see than cars. Drivers in this town aren't very used to driving on the road with cycles, especially this summer...

Sounds like the Subaru obviously didn't see the biker and pulled out right in front of him. Worst nightmare for anyone on a bike and unfortunately not an uncommon occurrence.

Motorcycles are hard to see. Don't forget how fast things can go wrong when you're behind the wheel.

I was in the vicinity today when I heard the sirens, although, did not see the accident occur. I came home to read that a tradegy had struck, that my family and I know well. My brother was killed in a motorcycle accident much like this one six years ago, his wife and children were just a few car lengths behind him when he was struck.They were able to kiss him goodbye, but he didn't arrive at the hospital to live. The driver was a woman un-intoxicated, and the accident, truly accidental. A couple years ago, I decided to write to the driver...I had never felt angry, was just swallowed up in my own pain and then life. I recieved the most heart wrenching letter back... this woman had suffered for years, she was a mother, a grandmother, a wife, a friend. That moment six years ago forever changed her life, and she feels the guilt of years worth pain in understanding she had taken from this earth a father, husband, brother. She is now dying of cancer...I wish I had written her sooner, maybe I could have given her some peace and rest. No one knew they would wake up that day and face such a challenge...not her, not our family. But the blessings that came from not being angry, but looking for healing have helped our family so much, and I have come to pray daily for a woman who was just trying to manuever an intersection...I hope you all will be kind to all parties involved, whatever thier legal fault may or may not have been, let the officials take care of that, and help the hurting to take care of thier hearts and homes. They will need it, this is a trauma that runs deep, and we know no one meant for this to happen. We have held an impromptu memorial for the first victim, lets not forget his family and loved ones, or the second victim, who will live to replay that moment for a long time. She will need peace and forgiveness, and hope. Please let us not cause them anymore suffering. How many of us had just passed through that intersection, how much we can be grateful for. Let's keep the hope moving.

I understand the picture can save lives but a man is dead here fault or not. Have some sympathy he has family maybe even kids that don't needed to be reminded of this horrific event. How could anyone not see that and the driver of the Subaru as well every time she sees this it will remind she killed a man. remove them if u had any bit of a soul u would. Rest in peace My friend you will never be forgotten crazy to think we just hug out few days ago

but the need for a second crossing was demonstrated clearly for all to see. It is time Juneau face the reality that our transportation system is a disaster waiting to happen.

Once again an idiot! This has absolutely nothing to do with your desire for a 2nd crossing! A life has been lost, many have been affected, and you are thinking your selfish politics and wants. You are ridiculously unsympathetic.
