That is terrible. My heart goes out to the family and friends of all involved.
Why would he try and overtake them?? Why wouldnt he stop and help?? He should hand himself in or they will hunt him down anyway. I know I would.

number they aren't going to hunt him down. He was probably an illegal.
number two a dui aint sh!t. pay the fine do the school zippity dooda. They should just give him the firing squad.
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

I don't know about CA, but in Nevada DUI resulting in a fatality is 20 years.

Gut-wrenching decision for a rider to make in 5 seconds - pursue the offender or stay and render aid to comrades .
Dang useless disregard for life .

 cages !!!!! daily you have to run an obstacle course and most are on cell phones.....  I joined ABATE and MRF ... they have done alot to raise motorcycle awareness to the DOT's , there is still work to be done, for our murdered brothers ( yes, I call it murder) through negligence and stupidity !!!

when I was a pup , motorcycle awareness was taught in our mandatory drivers ed... in the states where this aspect of drivers ed has been dropped, fatalaties are up.... stiff penalties for dui and cell phone (which is dui IMO) Drivers Ed should be mandatory as well as revue for ALL drivers periodically .... If the DOT want to lower senseless motorcycle deaths it will be done by requiring this and not trying to solve the problem by making us use "suites of armor" and the DOT often thinks is the "silver bullet" to solve this.....where driver education is used it has resulted in a lowering of motorcycle fatalaties...
