Treat Williams' Motorcycle Crash Witness Says He Flew 15 Feet (Exclusive)

I guess his injuries were.....untreatable 😮

RIP. You can pay attention and be aware but not a lot you can do when a SUV doesn't see you, or other cars not seeing you along side all the tall SUVs out there.

🌬📢💨 How tf d😡es Koss get a slap 😢n the wrist for killing a man?

Big fans of Treat Williams, and really sour to hear about this. In my opinion, someone 71 years old should not be driving around on a motorcycle. It's just too risky.

I just wanted to extend my condolences to you & your family I've watched many of his movies and his acting has touched my heart you must of experienced a great love with a heart like ...Edith M May the angels bless your hearts

SO SAD TO HEAR THIS

15 feet ain’t nothing, try 150 feet like I’ve done big boy

Williams was GREAT as D.B. Cooper

😢RIP TREAT.❤

I'm sure his family will take him home to rest... I just hate motorcycles....!!!!!!!!!😢

I NEVER get emotional ober celebrity deaths, but this has me fucked up fr.. he was such a good person with a big personality and huge heart.. Deep Rising was my favorite movie as a kid.. damn man

Sad RIP

I'm usually pretty on the pulse, and to not have heard this until a stupid google AD at the bottom of an article. WHY is he not being celebrated? Why wasn't this as big a story as Anne Heche, who (rightfully) gained national attention?

riding a bike now days no way gave my bikes away ... years ago . people drive crazy now days the world has no time to stop for dikes and people crossing the streets .... sad times just look out side

Absolutely dreadful. RIP , a fine actor , a fine friend and a fine family man .

Serves him right....old man has no business on a motorcycle

Heart breaker!

😢❤god. Bless

I loved him in Hair. Senseless death. That's motorcycles for you. Rest in peace Treat

Just really sad ,RIP

Utterly terrible when I heard it a few weeks ago...

Under no circumstance would I ever get on one of those death traps.

Did the other driver cause it?

I don't ride anymore (I'm 74), but for most of my riding years ( 40 or so) I was always ready for an oncoming car to turn left in front of me. But it's hard to be ready for a car changing lanes into your lane. I quit riding because of all the close calls. Most of them not my fault.

What a tragedy. I've loved his work and he has been a great addition to every cast. It is too bad he was on a Harley. They are the most ponderous, worst handling motorcycles made and he would have been better prepared to avoid an accident than the obsolete image machine. Harley - Davidson riders routinely say how they had to "lay it down" to save themselves, crash to avoid crashing because they brake so poorly the mistaken theory is you stop faster dragging on pavement. What really happens is the weak front brake makes riders mash on the rear, making the bike lose traction and lay down sliding. If they live HD nuts claim it was purposeful. In fact there is such short suspension travel that braking over multiple bumps bottoms it so the wheel locks as it is bounced like a ball and even the best rider cannot maintain control. Lean at an angle needed to avoid a crash or make a turn entered too fast and get dumped by dragging parts. Watch a Harley prep for turning, then reset as the cheap water pipe frame flexes like a palm tree in a hurricane.
While motorcycle fatalities dropped dramatically for decades the inexplicable resurgence of the now decades-obsolete vibrators has kept the death rate at a stubborn level.
I will always wonder if Treat would have been able to react correctly with the incredible precession of real motorcycles, brake effectively with a finger able to stand a decent bike on its nose or even use the immense and instantaneous power to avoid a situation too late for brakes as I have had to.
Of the friends Iost in car and bike crashes too many have been on Harleys that should stick to parades. Treat is another one.

Rip Treat

He had a great singing voice listening to him sing in Hair walking across that table and others said he was a great guy

Man i love this man great actor

Such an accomplished life only to end because some dweeb wasn’t paying attention. I hope he lives with that fact for the rest of his life.

This is why we all need to pay attention & not get distracted!

It's very sad what happened to Treat Williams.He was an accomplish actor and from what I heard he was a very good person that everybody loved to work with.RIPTreat

They don't know him people always say they know stars but they don't 🙄 but that's the only reason anyone cares People are so fake.

What is happening with the person who hit him?

The first rule of driving is “ People are idiots, drive accordingly .”

Iow you should always drive like that cuz it’s not far from the truth . This is a perfect case in point . That’s why I don’t ride a motorcycle no matter how “ fun” it is —motorcycle driving breaks the first rule of driving .

If you really thought everyone you faced on the road was an idiot , would you really put an 800 lb piece of metal between you and 3-4-5000 lbs of hot garbage coming your way driven by an idiot many times a day ?

At least in a car you have 3-4-5000 lbs of your own metal around you , seat belts , air bags etc .

The first law of driving : that’s why I don’t walk too near the road , ride bicycles on the road , jog on a road or street etc .

EVERY motorcyclist thinks “ well that can’t happen to me cuz I’m too careful and observant—plus this is too fun.”

Ask his daughter how much “ fun “ it is to bury her father now..

The average motorcyclist has far more faith in human nature than I’ll ever have .

Cant wait to see a new Treat Williams film! The man is a legend!

Beyond sad. Not being rude, at least Treat had a long life. Recently a young man of only 19, had the same item happen. On April 29, 2023…heard and saw the crash of a 19 year, flying into air. He hit a truck. Sad to say, I knew being a observer he was gone. Not taking away from sadness of Treat passing. But the 19 year old, dying is beyond sad. 😢

Motorcycles can be so difficult to see, especially at night.

Treat was one of my all time favorite actors, you always got the impression he could be your next door neighbor. He never let his sucsess go to his head. R.I.P. Treat Whilliams.

He seemed like such a nice man. 💐

There have been so many stupid accidents with drivers making a turn in front of an oncoming motorcycle. It’s like they don’t recognize it’s a vehicle coming forward. I understand that’s why cyclists who ride together ride tandem which makes them a bigger object together for any oncoming traffic to see.
It’s either that or the driver of the car misjudges the speed of the oncoming motorcycle. This should not have happened. His poor family must be in total shock.

Treat was a great guy and the best part about the accident for him it was final it didn't linger that he was doing something he loved to do rest in peace❤❤

😢😢😢😢🙏🙏🙏🙏🕯🕯🕯🕯

Heart😢broken for his family.Same thing happened to my husband's best friend,had his helmut on and someone turned in front of him😢.I know it won't bring Treat back but the driver who cut in front of him should be held accountable! Never should have happened.Yes,it is sad but nobody fails to mention the driver who just cut him off😢It happens a lot,I know of 4 people now who didn't have to die if the driver was more careful😢.

None of the actors in deep rising posted anything in social media about treat williams death,so sad

Sad but we all have a appointments with death then the judgement with a holy God if we left him out of our lives

Bled out internally. Same thing happened to me when I was 21 years old. Same issue, internal injuries.

The driver that struck the Motorcycle was making an illegal left turn with no left turn signal. 😡

They make airbag vests for motorcyclist now. It probably would have saved his life.

😢😢😢 I love all the shows he played in

Man it’s really sad
