A 46-year-old park ranger is dead after the Harley-Davidson he was riding on was slammed into by a C8 Corvette that was going about 150 mph before the crash. The other driver, an 18-year-old girl, is facing some potentially serious consequences for a crash that’s shocked the Phoenix metropolitan area.

Car flips after speeding through rotary.

It was the night of March 12 at about 10:30 when 18-year-old Rachel Berg was allegedly blasting down the HOV lane on US 60 in Mesa, Arizona. Authorities estimate she was going about 150 mph when she slammed into the Harley-Davidson Michael Clark was riding, killing the father of two.

Police say Berg tried to slow down before hitting the motorcycle, but was still traveling at about 87 mph when the two vehicles collided. Clark never stood a chance.

Clark’s grieving widow, Laura, spoke with AZ Family about the loss of her husband, saying she wants Berg held accountable for her actions. We think that’s incredibly reasonable, all things considered.
