Fatal Crash After Willits Christmas Toy Run Yesterday
According to one witness, “We were standing back in NAPA parking lot when I heard a big bang. Looked over and saw the water shooting up…that must have been a fire hydrant so we walked over there. The semi was at an angle and the bike was laying there…I don’t think the guy made it.”
The witness told us, “What the motel owner was standing there said was the truck was getting ready to make a right hand turn into the motel and the guy went around him on the bike not paying attention he hit the truck and then went into the fire hydrant.”
Earlier today the Willits Wild Bunch, a co-sponsor of the event, announced that the motorcyclist was killed in the crash. They offered their sympathy to the rider’s family saying, “The Willits Wild Bunch would like to express its Deepest Condolences to the family of the motorcyclist killed in the traffic accident in Willits on Sunday.”
We requested information from the Willits Police Department, but they said they did not have anyone available to answer questions.
The popular event collects food, gifts, and clothing for needy children in the area. A GoFundMe page for the event is here.

I must be blind. I didn’t see 1 mask in any of the pictures. Glad they’re not drinking the KoolAid.
A man just died and you’re spewing conspiracy theory, right-wing garbage.
[edit]
Happy holidays, [edit]
So a person dies and the only thing you get out of the article is you don’t see any masks you and that Jen person that commented are some kind of special you both should be ashamed! No excuse! None!
Sorry, Tom. So many have died that we’re all just numb to it anymore.
To add my own insulting comments…Is this what it means to give ’til it hurts? At least he doesn’t have to worry about wearing a mask!
You want remind them in person?? I’m sure they’ll take your advice 🙄
So im assuming you missed the part about someone dying because why is it masks and not someone tragic death you’re noticing? [edit] lol show some respect bro.
Have respect and shut your mouth.
Nobody cares about your “no mask fears” nobody cares… most people are sick and tired of your brainwashed fears projecting on all of us: including your projected fear that we will die if we dont wear a mask every second.
These people are outside in the open air, what could be more healthy? You are way more likely to die in an automobile crash or motorcycle accident like this fine man who was participating in a charitable event to raise money for poor kids who would otherwise have no xmas. Your fears are just that: your fears! The timing and place of your comment is rude and inconsiderate of the motorcyclist who was killed in this accident. Try having some compassion, try having some empathy, you dont care that someone just got killed, try being a human being.
You don’t get how this virus spreads do you even outside you can get it it’s called water droplets from your freaking mouth sweat from your skin shut up….
you want to complain at this person brought up masks but you just brought up the conspiracy theory crap around it someone died sit down and shut up
The virus is everywhere, were all gonna die, lions tigers and bears oh my! Oh My!
So a person dies trying to do a wonderful thing by helping children at Christmas time, and all you care about is the fact that he wasn’t wearing a mask. What a heartless jackass you are!
But kids survive covid, yeah everybody seems to think it won’t get to them or kill their grandparents so its okay.
Wear a damn mask outside your homes people we’ve all been going through this long enough you really should know better by now.
If you had half a brain at did some research you would realize that mass cannot do anything! It’s all about being a good slave and doing what you’re told nothing to do with a virus with a ninety nine point whatever percent of survival!!!
Mass does do good things, it gives us a chance to feel God’s love and repent our sins.
If you [edit] did some research you would realize that masks do not do anything plus there is a ninety-nine Point whatever survival rate for this flu!!! But keep on being a good slave and doing what you’re told!!!
Please fill us in on where we should do this research to become as enlightened as all you folks still negating the effects of masks!! Trump university? Fox News fantasy land? QAnon?? The group of high school drop outs you run into at the corner store??? I need specifics here being as all the current justifications y’all spin sound nothing more than some entitled , whiny ass snowflake bull shit with some incoherent favorite key words regarding “oppression” and “slavery” oh and let’s not forget, your “freedom.” 😂😂
There is tons of evidence that masks DO work! Even if there weren’t plenty of evidence that they work, why not just wear one for the sake of the elderly or those with compromised immune systems who are nervous being near being around people without them? People who are at greater risk. Wearing a mask isn’t a big deal. Do you care about anyone besides yourself?
My condolences to the family. I’m sorry to use this platform, but I can’t let people spread disinformation and lies.
AVENUERIDER, yes lots of people who’ve gotten covid live… with strokes, compromised lung function, brain fog, debilitating fatigue, etc., etc.
My father- in- law lived… He said I’ve had the flu numerous times but this covid s#&t is no laughing matter. It’s not the flu, it’s not a cold, it’s serious s#&t! I felt like I was dying when I was aware enough to be aware. He has no co- morbidities and he walked and hiked weekly. He’s not overweight or smoking anymore. He lost 40 pounds in 10 days and could not even sit up when the ambulance took him to the hospital (to die, he thought). After plasma infusions and God only know what else, he began to think he might live. He’s still going through hell. His doctor says no pain medication, not even ibuprofen which might mask some symptoms or make other things worse. He has to take a dangerous blood thinning medication because one side affect many have is thickened blood (causing strokes). He has back problems from military service and must endure that pain along with trying to work his physical therapy to get back to some semblance of healthy.
So before you show your ignorance by declaring Covid is “just the flu”, talk to medical professionals from any ICU in the world and listen to what they’ve seen. You, too, Homer.
This damn story was not about wearing a mask. It was about the fact that someone lost their life while doing a good thing. You people need to get over the damn mask wearing conspiracy theories, we’re all grown ups and we’re all going to do what we want to do. How about a little sympathy and respect for the man that died and his family. You unsympathetic jerk.
You should know that this article had nothing to do with wearing masks. Why are you even commenting on such a stupid thing. Nobody gives a damn if he was wearing a mask or not. The fact is a person lost their life and you should be offering your sympathies and respect to the family not arguing about the stupid damn masks.
I took these pictures and no the semi didn’t hit the guy on the motorcycle the guy on the motorcycle ran into the truck as it was making a right-hand turn into a motel
Who cares how it happened. A man died, a family lost a father, a son, or an uncle and people lost a friend. How it happened is irrelevant. The amount of sympathy from people these days is simply amazing.
Homer says to keep drinking the kool aid Jen. The deep state smiles every time you take a drink. Bet you will be in the front of the line to get your Bill Gates shot sponsored by George Soros and Co.
Did you type this on your smart phone?
HEARTFELT CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILIES INVOLVED 🙏🏼
So sorry for the family and friends of this man. May he rest in peace. And for the truck driver and first responders, so sorry that you had to go through this but thank you for what you do.
For the crazy people talking about masks during this time, shame on you. But if you would close your mouth and open your eyes you would see that there are some people in the pictures wearing mask.
Finally a comment from somebody with a little heart. Thank you. Who cares about damn masks when a person lost their life.
🕯🌳And because of the no masks wearing there will be no Christmas. 🖖🖖
What does masks wearing have to do with not having Christmas? Sorry if I don’t understand what you meant. This article also has nothing to do with wearing masks, only about someone’s life ending while participating in a holiday Christmas toy run. My condolences to this persons family and friends. A life lost is exactly that, one soul less in these troubled times.
U do realize even if everyone wore masks 24/7 they woulda canceled Christmas they have made it clear they want u to lock up until vaccine so that means they want to u to stay in beyond Christmas. This is someone’s life and death that happened without covid, life is still going without covid and ur literally more likely to die in a accident statistically
This Toy Run is a charitable event for the kids around Northern Mendocino County, the Wild Bunch is a good crew of fine people who enjoy riding motorcycles together. Condolences to the family and friends and the rest of the Wild Bunch. Everybody be careful out there. There is still a much higher chance of dying on our roads than dying of covid, instead of worrying about masks and obedience keep your eyes on the road and take your time.
Peace and Love, Happy Holidays
I’m calling you out for total BS. 38,800 road fatalities in USA (2019) equaling 12.9 deaths per 100,000
Covid over 265,000 fatalities (in only 9 months) on the way to 335,000 fatalities annually and equaling approx 100 deaths per 100,000 when the year is up. Yeah so just STFU. thank you.
I cant believe at a time like this people are dropping comments about masks , have respect for the surviving family of the young beautiful soul that lost his life in this tragic accident , where are the morals and values of people .
I’m confused, was this an article about masks?
Woo! settle down everybody. stand down and a stand by.
Ah, im sure he’d be wearing a mask if he weren’t DEAD. Show some respect, dude.
This is the 4th person in a month that I personally know in my small town of willits that has passed away and none of them have died from covid so why doesn’t everyone have a little respect and help everyone else out and stop hating of everyone and everythin. Ya it’s been a bad year but why make it worse by being so negative be happy you are healthy and still alive.
i drove by this my heart dropped to the ground and i stared crying he was doing a good thing im so sorry to the family and friends who lost this man!
lets all pray hes in a better placee
Wow just know words for the comments Here All Im going to say I Im sorry to the Family an Friends for the Biker that was making A family an there Children’s Holidays that much more Special there should be A memriol set up where he lost his life for doing a good deed an all you people worried about them not wearing Masks Shame on you .
How sad. Doing something good goes so wrong in a heart beat
The argument in the comments regarding the “stunning lack of mask wearing” vs “have respect this isn’t about masks because someone died” is ironic.
And why is that comment ironic? The article was about a man who lost his life doing a good thing . Nobody gives a damn if he was wearing a mask or not except for the jackasses commenting on this post. Your comment makes no sense at all. He didn’t die because he wasn’t wearing a mask. Your level of comprehension must be extremely low.
A compassionate man died while performing a charitable act. That deserves respect in and of itself. Never mind the rest of the nonsense in this thread.
I am shocked, dumbfounded but primarily angered that people here are talking about masks and not the tragic loss of a life. I’m sure someone’s brother, son, friend and loved one. Lives will be changed and the holiday season will turn to a time of immense grief for the family.
For anyone that mentioned “masks” instead of the loss of a life SHAME on you, you have lost your way.
This is why riding a motorcycle is not wise. There’s no such thing as a fender-bender when you don’t have any protection. RIP
This is truly a tragedy. I am heartsick for his family and the truck driver. My prayers are with all of them, and all who witnessed this terrible loss.
