Boston EMS Incidents reports the crash happened shortly after 5:30 p.m. at A Street and Broadway. Live Boston reports the fatal-crash reconstruction team and the homicide unit were called in due to the severity of the victim's injuries.
I came upon the scene right after it happened and it looked like the biker was most likely going straight through the intersection on A Street and was hit by an SUV turning left from A onto Broadway. The front of the SUV was pretty destroyed as was the bike.
This is my friend, he was killed by a man talking on a cell phone while driving. A person who was an amazing selfless genuinely kind young man is gone now. What phone call is worth a life, senseless homicide by car for sure

If a car driver hit this motorcycle and the motorcyclist subsequently dies, wouldn't you consider that a homicide?
(Not a homicide if this was a "one-bike" accident, but we may not know that yet.)

Good point. Homicide just means a person killed by another person. It is a fairly common misconception that homicide = murder.

Sorry to hear about you losing your friend. Was he local to Southie? I’ve seen the memorial set up this week at the corner of A st & Broadway.
Okay, I can see that.
