"...Olivera had been traveling east on Thunderbird Road when a Jeep made a left turn in front of him from 64th Street."
This doesn't make sense. If the biker was going east on T-Bird and the Jeep turned left in front of it, wouldn't the Jeep be westbound on T-Bird, left turning to go south onto 64th street?
Thanks Phil. I'm not complaining. That's your part in the plot.
The rest of us figured it out and noted the error in the writing. Without complaining.
