Crash investigators say Colazo lost control of the motorcycle, a 2004 Yamaha YFR, at a gradual turn in the roadway.
Pretty sure they didn't make a YFR in '04...

Since when has accuracy in the media mattered more than sensationalism?

Like claimiing he crashed at 157mph? He was clocked at that speed 4 miles before the crash. I dunno about your bikes, but mine takes substantially less than 4 miles to change speed.

Plus he rode through the dirt for longer than the length of a football field before he hit the pole. Not taking away from the accident, it was obviously intense, but he certainly didn't collide with a concrete barrier at 157mph and live.
