If I lived in Belair I would be hollering about all the serious accidents that take place there. What happened to the other news that goes on in Belair?

They have sooooo many accidents at this intersection. I think it would be interesting to look at the statistics on this intersection. I live nearby and I can't begin to tell you the number of accidents that I have seen.

Unfortunately most times when they cancel the call for the copter the patient has died.....Hopefully not in this case. But it looks like it was one of those "fast" motorcycles

They need to install a light at the entrance to the WAWA/Doctor Office.

Yes, and it also looks like the car cut across in front of the motorcycle, which means he was wrong no matter what. There could also be some contributory negligence on the cyclist's part based on how "fast" he was moving on his "fast" motorcyle. In any event, the cut was in the wrong.

Make that car was in the wrong...

The intersection is not the problem, texting, inattention, being high, going too fast, and the "me first" attitude that everyone seems to have these days are the culprits.

I think they need to expand the median and make that a NO LEFT TURN out of Wawa - TOO MANY accidents there! I also think they need to remove that right lane that ends up merging to the left right after crossing over Route 543. Too many people get into that right lane to beat the backup going towards the College and all they do is cause a bigger backup when they cross over Route 543 because they have to merge back to the left.

i go to the middle school up there and the # of sirens tht go of just for the intersection accidents is scary

I was there, I don't think the young man made it :( It wasn't at the intersection, it was at the entrance to Express Care.

And you geniuses speculating what caused it, stuff a sock in it.

According to the Dagger the biker died. http://www.daggerpress.com/2012/09/14/perryville-motorcyclist-killed-after-striking-car-on-route-22-friday-afternoon/

The motorcycle rider has since passed away, police confirm. See updates above. -KD

It is a terrible intersection. I should know I was involved in an accident there years ago when traffic stopped to let someone make a left into the Wawa. Unfortunately someone came flying up the lane that starts right before the Wawa. They collided at a high speed and the lady making the left was thrown into my car. If I had not been in my SUV my kids and I would have been in trouble. 12,000 dollars of damage to my brand new truck. Luckily no injuries. They really need to do something about it!

My condolences to the motorcyclist family! I feel for the 17 yr old boy too, he will have to live with this tragic event.
Wawa is in a bad, high traffic spot. Trying to turn left into Wawa/Expresscare is difficult and a lot if time hard to see traffic in the right lane. That intersection and surrounding area needs attention, way too many accidents.

Lord, please watch over Mr. Greenhow up there in heaven. Also watch over his family and friends as they mourn the loss of a loved one. Please be with the young driver as he grieves. Amen.....

Not only is that intersection a tricky one, I wish everyone on the road would be more courteous in general. As a driver that regularly travels to Bel Air and around Harford and Baltimore county, I cannot tell you how many accidents I have avoided due to defensive driving when someone else on the road was acting recklessly. SLOW DOWN, people and stop thinking only of yourself on the road!!! We all deserve more respect than that!

God bless Green how, and his family. I was talking to him about invicta watches a couple of weeks ago. I still can not believe it.

This intersection is a menace. I dread going through it at anytime, It is unsafe to make a left turn into the Wawa and the medical clinic during rush hour. My heart goes out to the motorcyclist who passed away and the young man who was driving the car. An accident an unforeseen and unplanned event or circumstance . Regardless of who was at fault, the end result cannot be changed. At some point, maybe the highway planners will recognize the need to improve the traffic patterns and make the necessary changes to reduce the number of motor vehicle collisions in the area.

Another car/motorcycle accident where the car turned left in front of an oncoming bike...what a shame. :-(

I was on a Harford Tech bus on the way home and saw it happen. it was horrible. my prayers go out to the families involved.

Maybe SHA will finally wake up and do something with that drive way entrance. Far too man people have been in accidents at that location. Many are never reported and many don't involve the police, but I can tell you that on a regular basis, there are accidents at that location almost every day.

That intersection is DEFINITELY the problem! I have said for years that there should be NO LEFT TURNS IN OR OUT OF THAT WAWA! Why won't the state highway idiots do something about it?? I have told my own children (new drivers)NEVER to turn left into or out of there! The real problem is when the "do-gooders" try to stop and motion for the left-turner to go on through, not caring that a ca/motorcycle may be speeding up the right lane at that moment. The person who waved the 17-year old boy to go on through is equally at fault! Save your do-good moments for the sick and homeless, not for people trying to turn into a store!

I feel for the young man and his family. May he rest in Peace.

I would assume the 17 yr old was a "provisional license" driver. I hope at least one of the passengers was a 21 yr old legal driver/ family member or I believe he could be in a lot of trouble driving with passengers.......

Why does it matter if the driver had his provisional drivers license? That doesn't make him a better or worse driver than anyone else out there. A poor man lost his life and I love how people on here pick apart and speculate how this happen. If you weren't there don't assume.

My heart & Prayers goes out to the Greenhow family & friends.
Kids under 18 yrs old should NOT be driving.

Age isn't the problem. IIt's due to inexperienced driving. A new driver is a new driver whether 16, 18 or 40.

I was a firefighter who responded to this accident (I'm the guy in gray on the right in the first picture). This was, without a doubt, the worst accident I have ever seen.

I saw the whole accident, I was right behind Mr Greenhow. I was also one of the first responders who took MrGreehow's pulse and helped preform CPR until the paramedics came. This accident wasn't Mr Greenhow's fault. His right of way was taken away from him by an inexperienced 17 yr old driver who also had other teens in his vehicle at the time of the accident. My heart goes out to the Greenhow family. Such a terrible accident. Heidi H.

You really gonna stick with the hocus pocus; now you see it now you don't, motorcycles are invisible crap? Not only do you see bikes if you're paying attention; you freakin' hear them. Conscientious drivers don't hit motorcycles...poor drivers, inattentive drivers, aggressive drivers and imbeciles hit motorcycles; but they hit other cars too - it's just that when you hit a motorcycle it more often results in a fatality or serious injury.

Does anyone have any concerns about the strip-mall style of commercial development and the zoning process that supports it?

Take it away, folks.

they oughta leave all that strip shopping down on Baltimore Street

I drove past the scene friday afternoon and it was the cars fault. Anyone who knows that intersection knows that the light at 543 and 22 backs up and everyone sits in the one lane because the right lane ends right past royal farms. So the car went in the break of the lane. But the people do go into the right lane to turn at 22. The car went through the line like nothing was happening the motorcycle came up in the right lane and hit the car. I also am a new motorcycle owner myself and live right by CMW High. I feel for the rider because it wasn't his fault. Condolences to the family

It is absolutely ridiculous how many people on here want to turn this into a motorcycle discussion or a young driver discussion. The real issue is with the intersection of Rt-22 and the driveway. It is inherantly dangerous. It has horrendous sight lines, is an overloaded intersection and it is next to a failing intersection (Rt 543/22). There should be no left turns in or out of that driveway and then the problem forever is solved, PERIOD!

While legally it is the young mans fault, it is an "accident" based mainly on a bad traffic design that led to a faulty turn by the driver and I have no doubt some contribuatory negligence by the biker. The sad thing is that this was all preventable. I know I have called the State on numerous occasions and asked them to perform a traffic study regarding all of the accidents that happen on a daily basis at that intersection between Econ and Rt 543. .

Are you running for office on the Tea Party ticket, Jeebacus?

Next.

The problem is not the 17 year old driver, it's the intersection. I know this kid personally and he is a good guy and very responsible. Don't get me wrong, I really do feel for Mr. Greenhow and his family. Just imagine if it was your son or daughter in this accident. Would you still want them charged with manslaughter? It was an accident and I understand he did make a mistake. People are so brutal on here and have so much hate. Put your time to good use and pray for both families.

Maybe we could invest in motorcycles for all the mean-spirited and hateful commentators and send them screaming down Rt. 543.

I am in and out of that Wawa several times per week. Yep, the sight lines are not good, but, so what? If I can not see what is coming because of a line of traffic, I don't guess, I wait for the line to clear. There are many, many instances while driving where we need to wait for a line of traffic to clear before proceeding, this is just one of them.
Prayers to the family.

I agree there shouldn't be any judging, both families are effected. If you saw it happen, you know that it was the motorcycle that was in a hurry. The car waited for an opening and it was the motorcycle that got impatient and zoomed up the lane FAST!

Hello, how’s it going? Just shared this post with a colleague, we had a good laugh. <a href="http://www.shoppingwebsitesreviews.com/category/watches">; Watches</a>

How sad for you both. Since my GOD is a GREAT GOD and loves us all. Even in your laughter over other peoples sorrow. May HIS blessings flow over you just the same. Have a GOD filled blessed day.
