MESA, Ariz. (KPHO/Gray News) - An 18-year-old woman has been arrested in connection with a deadly motorcycle crash that happened on a Mesa highway earlier this month.

KPHO reports that investigators believe 18-year-old Rachel Nicole Berg was driving more than 150 mph before the collision that killed 46-year-old Michael Clark.

Arizona authorities said the crash happened just after 10:30 p.m. on March 12 when a 2024 Chevrolet Corvette rear-ended a Harley-Davidson motorcycle in the eastbound lane of U.S. 60 near Dobson Road. … Troopers said Clark hit the concrete wall after the impact and was thrown from his bike.

Berg pulled over and tried to perform CPR, but Clark died at the scene. … She reportedly told troopers that she tried to stop when she spotted the motorcycle but couldn’t slow down in time.

5. It was a rental car. Not sure who's stupid enough

To rent a brand new Vette to an 18 year old 🤔

6. Whoever it was, probably got really yelled at.

8. With an 18 year old woman they'll take a chance. Males- not so much. Stats.

9. You have to be 25 years old to rent a car in Arizona.

At least, that's what my understanding is, especially for "exotics".
The fact that she was driving means someone else (most likely) is going to be charged as an accessory.

2. 20 years should be enough.

3. and a lifetime without driving

Get to know your Uber driver.

4. Keep her in jail until she is too old to drive again.

7. Go to jail, do not pass go - this is real-life moron

No feels for her but Michael Clark never gets to go home again because he didn't stand a chance starting when she pulled out of her driveway and she shouldn't either. Thanks for "trying to stop." That should make it all better. Especially for Michael Clarks family
