The accident occurred at 1:20 A.M., February 5, 1970, in Dade County, Florida, at a suburban intersection of two roadways. A car, westbound, approached the intersection in the left turn lane, waited for an eastbound vehicle to clear the intersection and, with a green signal cut sharply to the south into the path of a motorcycle. The driver of the motorcycle propelled over the hood of the car (fractured right corner of windshield), landed on helmeted head about 20 feet from point of impact. He suffered extensive post-crash mental degeneration. (Author)
