"So the report does makes sense. Motorcycle was coming from the direction of the freeway, turns left onto Morena and hits the cyclist a block north (actually northwest, but I consider Morena/W Morena a N/S street)."

If what you say is true then either the motorcyclist or the bicyclist was running thru a RED light.

One witness says "I saw this accident happen. The motorcyclist made a left turn onto Morena from Tecolote Road. He took off from the light at a very high speed, cut across a lane without signaling and collided head on with the bicyclist."

If the witness is correct - it is conceivable the bicyclist was standing in the only SB Morena straight ahead lane for the light to turn green for him. The left turning NB motorcyclist got confused (due to lack of signage/divider/road markings?) and turned into the SB inside lane on Tecolote.

That intersection is 120 wide when crossing Tecolote SB. EB Tecolote turning N (left) onto Morena is a two lane left but is very poorly marked. The driver in the inside left turn lane sees no signage of divider telling him where the NB inside lane is on Morena. It would be very easy to mistakenly turn into the SB lane.

BUT…

the other witness says "Witnessed this accident happen. The story is all wrong. Bicyclist was headed southeast across Morena in the right hand only turn lane–crossing the street–when the motorcyclist, heading north, was speeding after making the left hand turn from Tecolote onto Morena”

So – that means someone was in the intersection at the wrong time. There is a crosswalk and pedestrian signal for both crosswalks that cross Morena. What is confusing about the 2nd witness is that the “right turn lane only” lane SB on Morena is adjacent to the SB curb and the only way for the motorcyclist to get there is to make a turn of more than 90 degrees and head N on the far wrong side of the road. There is also a “right turn only” lane EB on Tecolote which then goes SB on Morena. If the poor bicyclist was in that lane then the LEFT turning motorcycle would have been going WB on Tecolote – not EB as Markg describes.

The two witness statements seem to contradict each other or the bicyclist was crossing Morena in the northern cross walk headed east from the SB “right turn only” lane on Morena – in which case someone either ran a red light or crossed against a Don’t Walk sign.

It is easy to sympathize with the authorities investigating the accident when the two witness statements contradict each other or confirm that someone ran a red light.

I have had five similar experiences where I was hit, while riding my bicycle, by auto/truck drivers (four from behind and one from head on) and in every case I was either in a bike lane or a clearly marked traffic lane. In every case the driver admitted to hitting me because "they didn't notice me" - in only one case did the police or courts punish the driver. And – in three cases I had independent witnesses who confirmed that I had the right of way and was in the bike lane – the police declined to do anything in all three of those situations.
