Deputies said said Collins was traveling on a 2004 Suzuki GSX-R600K motorcycle when, at the same time, an adult female was traveling the opposite direction in a 2002 Chevrolet Suburban SUV.

"At some point, the Chevrolet driver proceeded to turn left to travel south onto Northwest 33rd Avenue. As the car crossed the eastbound lanes, the motorcycle struck the rear passenger side of the SUV. The impact caused the motorcyclist to enter the rear passenger side window of the Chevrolet and come to a final rest inside the car. The collision also caused the Chevrolet to rotate clockwise before finally resting," investigators said.

Sounds like a typical SMIDSY - also known as failure to yield. May the rider RIP.

News media rarely frame such crashes as what they are.
