the cop was riding a yamaha yzf r3.

It would appear that the cause of the accident was determined in the first sentence.A speeding Mercedes driven by a British tourist
And how did they measure the speed of the vehicle?
Mercedes driven by farang + one dead cop = speeding
An equation we all know only too well.
The asshole must have been going quite fast to do that much damage simply hitting a motorcycle, even a larger bike.
^ Actually you're wrong on that one. I managed hit a cop, pulled out in front of him while learning to drive on the left side of the road about 6 years ago. Sent him to the hospital, he hit me hard enough to tear the plastic front bumper and grill off my car with a Honda Wave. Absolutely nothing happened, the supervisor who arrived wanted to know if I had been drinking, and I had not. I did admit fault and apologized. I was not even taken to the police station. My insurance must have paid for it because I never heard anything else about the incident.

I actually know the driver. He was a bit of a speed merchant though.
On another note...He gave up drinking quite a few years ago, started drinking those non alcoholic brews.
Anybody on a bike is trying to die anyway, no ?
^ I reluctantly keep my motorcycles, and use them far more than the car because they are so much more convenient. Between gridlock traffic and finding a parking space in many places, the motorcycle is so much easier to use.
Sadly this is a deadly convenience.
