Petaluma, Ca – 59-year-old Bob Amen, former IT Chief for O’Reilly Media, was killed tragically in a motorcycle crash on Wednesday when his bike collided with a van.
Amen, who was on his way to his mother’s house for dinner, was riding along the winding Point Reyes-Petaluma Road, when a 2003 Ford-350 van driven by Charles A. Belford, drifted into another lane and collided with Amen’s 2008 Ducati around 6:15 p.m.
According to reports, both vehicles erupted into fire upon impact. The van struck a cattle gate and started a small brush fire on the side of the road. Amen was thrown from his motorcycle and died at the scene of the accident. Belford sustained scrapes to his arms.
No charges have yet been reported against Belford.
