Rider down on my commute

[Gone in 60]

Ugh.. another one. Leaving the garage this morning, listening to the news and traffic in my earbud, "there's a motorcycle down on the 55 south at Chapman in the carpool lane". That's where I get on the freeway, and I said a thank you inside my helmet that my wife doesn't listen to news stations on her way to work.

It was a big Victory bagger, laying on its side. Front and rear lights were still on, didn't look damaged, and no plastic debris on the ground, so must not have been a front or rear hit. That's a very tight, slow part of the split, so maybe he bumped someone, or maybe it was a panic stop and he fell over. Wasn't a bike I'd ever seen on my commute.
