It must have been pretty bad, they had morrison shut down just after the 2nd Red Rocks entrance and were turning everybody around.

They just had this on Fox News.
All they said was the rider hit an Audi that was trying to turn. It was very vague in that they didn't say whether or the car pulled out in front of the bike.

Stupidity should be painful.
Yeah, pretty, vague. Probably typical car making a left turn killing a biker.
RIP rider, Godspeed.

Hey! I'm unique... just like everybody else
It sounds like the car did turn left in front of the bike ...legally ...as in making a left turn.
"An Audi sedan was traveling west and had stopped to make a lefthand turn. The motorcyle was a few cars behind. The motorcycle swung out to pass the other cars and the stopped Audi, then braked hard and started a skid before hitting the back of the Audi."
Sometimes you only get one chance to make a bad decision. RIP

There ya go.
Man, I hate to hear about this stuff, especially when it's rider error.

Ok guys, I was on this ride.
This was not a planned ride, just 5 of us who met at MoCo looking for a ride. A few of us are CSC members but I'm not sure about Connor, who died on the scene.
Everyone was in great spirits, looking forward to the great day of riding ahead of us. I had just met Connor at 9:15am, and what really stood out for me was what a friendly and polite guy Connor was, he gave off really good vibes.
He told me he bought his 03' 600RR brand new and had around 10k miles on it, and was looking to get a new liter bike in the future.
I suggested we hit up Deckers, so we loft Moco about 9:30 with myself being the lead rider. We did not do any pre-ride rules on passing or anything, I wish we had.
I couple miles west of Moco, I came across a lone car and decided to pass, the car then pulled over and the group was all together again.
Another mile or two, we came across 5-6 cars, I decided not to pass with the heavy traffic for obvious reasons. There is a strait away another couple miles up, and I new we could pass there. I was just thinking to myself the group might be getting antsy when I heard the scream of Connors CBR.
He decided to come from the very back of the pack, pass the group and the then the few other cars in front of me. He didn't see the Audi slow to start the turn until it was too late. He was on the oppisite lane passing when he collided with her.
It looked like he hit the brakes a hundred yards before inpact but it didn't help much, as you can imagine, the impact was incredibly horrible and violent. The audi seemed to jump 3 feet in the air from the rear.
Just to clarify, he was riding alone, the passenger who was injured was in the car.
It was a nightmare, dead silence as we all pulled over. I'm no expert, but he appered to be dead instantly.
Someone called 911, there were quite a few people there riding bicycles, and stopped cars, everyone wide eyed and trying to come to termes with what we were seeing. A SUV pulled over, and a women hopped out, the driver told us that she is a Doctor. She started looking for signs of life, along with Connors lifelong friend, who was also riding with us.
Another minute or two and emergency care started to arrive. They attemped to revieve him, but after 15 minutes or so they pronounced him dead. Everything started to slow down at that point as the police started taking statements.
Horrible day. RIP
Sounds like there wasn't anything you could do, just a shame that we lost another rider. I think many people are getting antsy since it's coming to the end of the good season.
I know exactly where this happened as we almost had the exact same thing happen to a couple riders at the front our pack on Saturday. Horrible way to end a tough season.
RIP Connor.

Thanks for the information Vegasbound. I agree that this is a very good example of how important it is to take a minute or two to get everyone on the same page.
RIP Conner!!!
