James Caviezel hurt in morotcycle accident in Washington

I feel really bad for James Caviezel. He was injured in a motorcycle accident, that never should have happened.

It seems that he was in Washington State, and while driving down a road a man threw a bicycle out in front of his Harley. Not your normal motorcycle accident. Not even by a long shot.

Thankfully he had a helmet on, which inevitably helped him survive the incident. But it does remind me that the dangers on a motorcycle are normally not the road or the driver.

In most every case of a motorcycle accident, with an experienced driver, I have noticed that some outside force is involved. Not to say that motorcycle drivers don't just have accidents. But it is to say that most bikers are far more cautious and aware of the road than the average driver in a car.

Still I can't imagine anything preparing someone for what happened here. The big question has to be why? That question has not been answered yet. But the initial reports are saying that the unidentified man may have had mental issues. No surprise there.

I am glad to hear that Caviezel will be ok. There have been just too many sudden deaths of entertainers recently. We can all do with a bit of time before another pops up.
