Fatal Motorcycle Wreck In Carmel, IN
Police are reporting that 31-year-old Jeremy Burnette of Noblesville was traveling north on Hazel Dell Parkway in Carmel, Indiana on his motorcycle when an SUV pulled in front of him from a subdivision on Rippling Brook Way. Burnette was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash, but he was still pronounced dead at the scene from blunt force injuries.
The 73 year-old driver of the SUV told police he did not see Burnette on the motorcycle.
An investigation is ongoing. Burnette's family will be entitled to answers and may want to retain an attorney to hire an independent accident reconstructionist. An independent accident reconstruction can go above and beyond police investigations and shed additional light on all the factors that may have led to a wreck.
If it is determined after a complete investigation and reconstruction that the driver of the SUV pulled into Burnette's lane of travel and encroached upon Burnette's right of way causing the collision, then the driver of the SUV may end up being liable in whole or in part for Burnette's wrongful death.
Our thoughts are with all involved.
