Carmel Businessman Dies in Motorcycle Accident
December 11, 2007
It was a tragic end to the annual Carmel, California motorcycling community's toy ride to distribute toys to charities in the area. Prominent local business man and avid motorcyclist Richard Whitworth, was killed when his bike was struck from behind by a car on the Canyon Del Ray entrance to Highway 1. The woman who was driving reportedly was trying to get ahead of the pack of riders when she rear ended Whitworth's bike. She has not been identified. Whitworth was participating in the 23rd annual toy run which was taking a truck and trailer full of toys and goodies to distribute to children's charities. The California Highway Patrol is investigating the cause of the accident. Earlier the CHP managed to ruffle some feathers when it claimed that the accident was Whitworth's fault and that he was in an acceleration lane when he died, a theory hotly disputed by Whitworth's biker friends. The CHP has also alleged that Whitworth was not wearing a Department of Transportation certified helmet, but a beanie type helmet and that this may have caused his death. Whitworth's friends allege that the CHP is being prejudiced in this case because the charity is run by a biker group that although is not affiliated with the Hell's Angels in any way has been known to support their drives from time to time.
