| Terrible car/motorcycle accident - Burrard and 2nd
 On the other side of the car there is a mangled motorcycle with a couple helmets on the ground. Don't have details of what happened but news crew is there etc. The few intersections on that stretch of Burrard are so dangerous, at least an accident a week.

Hope the riders are gonna be ok.
Any particular reason why that stretch is so accident-prone? Typically, I only drive through that area a handful of times in a year, and I don't really notice anything out of the ordinary, other than that there are quite a few traffic lights on that stretch of Burrard.

2nd and 3rd cutting across Burrard is extremely dangerous. My girlfriend lives a couple blocks away and we always see vehicles trying to cut across Burrard usually narrowly missing getting t boned by vehicles traveling on Burrard, the worst are the cyclist that try and cut across Burrard on those streets, more than half of them just go flying into the intersection expecting cars to stop for them  | |

Edited:
Seems I'm dyslexic this morning with my directions.
While it's sad to see two people killed, it's tough for me as a fellow rider to have sympathy for people who ride like assholes and speed excessively, which this rider was doing. Look at the yellow markers on the road leading up to the crash - the police would put them there to mark the locations of tire marks from the bike - likely from locking up the brakes.
And yet despite braking, the bike still hit the BMW hard enough to turn it around and move it a significant distance. That requires a hell of a lot of force to do.
Shouldn't be speeding like that during rush hour, and with a passenger on back to boot.

RIP to the bikers, wow.
That E32 got hammered pretty good. Those doors are super heavy. I wonder how fast the bike was going.

Looks like the BMW might have been the one at fault too, at least from the fact it looks like it spun around from the impact.

i think that the car was trying to cut across burrard and didn't see the bike coming, then the car pulled out in front of the bike, the bike hit the car so hard that it spun the car
