FORT COLLINS, Colo. -- A motorcyclist was killed after being struck by a sports utility vehicle. Colorado State Patrol spokesman, Trooper Nate Reid, told the Coloradoan (http://www.coloradoan.com/article/20120401/UPDATES01/120401001/1002/rss) that a 2002 white Lincoln Navigator was driving west through Poudre Canyon when it crossed the double yellow line and hit the motorcyclist, who was headed eastbound.
Scott Brelsford, from Cheyenne, WY was wearing a helmet when his motorcycle hit the front left part of the SUV. Bresford, 47, died at the scene of the incident, according to the newspaper. The driver of the Lincoln was Collin Claussen, 25, who was alone in the car and was uninjured in the crash.
Drugs and alcohol are not believed to be the cause of the accident, according to the Coloradoan. While we certainly enjoy our spirited rides through the canyons, please be careful. Don't put yourself in a position through the corners that could leave you without room to avoid these idiots, and stay away from that center line!
