There was a tragic event in Whitby, Ontario where a cop tried to pull over a sport-bike, and instead the guy nailed the throttle, dumping his female passenger on the highway, leaving her to be run over by various cars, and horrifically killed. The guy ran, and I want this piece of sh*t found, either by us, or the damn cops.... A passenger trusts the rider, and the rider/biker/motorcyclist.... has an obligation to keep that passenger safe, as they're at the mercy of our actions... We dont give a f#@k why this guy was running, he should have stopped when she fell off, regardless of his own situation. Below are clips from news articles, please help us find this cowardly peice of sh*t.....

WHITBY — A motorcycle passenger was killed Friday night in a disturbing accident on the busy 401 in which the body was hit by an unknown number of vehicles, none of which stopped to help. And the province’s Special Investigations Unit is now probing the horrific death that shut down the highway for 12 hours. The incident began just after 11:30 p.m. with a Durham officer following two people on a motorcycle in the westbound lanes of the highway, just west of Brock St., Ontario Provincial Police say. The cop, who was driving a marked police cruiser, claims to have “signalled” the driver of the motorcycle to pull over, OPP Const. Graham Williamson said Saturday. But instead of stopping, the motorcyclist took off. As the bike accelerated, the passenger fell off the back, Williamson said. The passenger tumbled into the live lanes of traffic and is believed to have been hit by “one or more vehicles,” he said.
Remarkably, neither the motorcyclist nor any other driver remained at the scene to help. The motorcycle passenger was pronounced dead on the highway. The victim’s name, age and gender were not immediately released. The westbound 401 was shut down for more than 12 hours from Brock St. to Salem Rd. as the OPP and SIU conducted “parallel investigations.” The SIU is called in any time there is a serious injury or death involving a police officer. However, the spokesman for the provincial police watchdog could not be reached for comment.
The highway closure caused major traffic headaches for motorists throughout Durham Region. The 401 finally reopened shortly after noon.
Investigators are trying to identify the motorcyclist and any other drivers who fled the scene, Williamson said.

Anyone with any information is urged to contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122, or their Whitby detachment at 905-668-3388.

Police still searching for driver in fatal motorcycle accident
a Toronto woman who was driving west on Hwy. 401 around the time the accident occurred, said the motorcycle passed her at 180 to 190 km/h and was weaving dangerously in and out of traffic.
About a minute later, her SUV was passed by a speeding Durham police car with its lights flashing. Howey believes the cruiser was in pursuit of the bike. Farther down the highway, just west of Brock St., Howey noticed the flashing lights of the now stopped cruiser and suddenly found herself dodging body parts that were strewn across the highway. The province’s special investigations unit is probing the incident and confirms a Durham officer attempted to stop the bike. It’s alleged that instead of stopping, the driver took off, and as he accelerated, his passenger tumbled off the back of the bike and was hit by “one or more vehicles.” The victim was pronounced dead at the scene, but her name and age have yet to be released. “We’re still in the process of trying to identify the deceased,” SIU spokesman Monica Hudon said. OPP investigators continue to hunt for the motorcyclist who fled the scene.
