Harry Hurt, pioneer motorcycle accident investigator, died November 29, 2009 in California. He was 81. Here's an excerpt by Susan Carpenter of the Los Angeles Times in an obituary published today:

"Hurt suffered a heart attack Sunday at Pomona Valley Hospital. It was a complication of back surgery that he had a week earlier, said his eldest son, Harry Hurt III. Hurt was the principal investigator of the Hurt Report, an in-depth, on-scene investigation of 900 motorcycle accidents in Los Angeles from 1976 to 1977." -- Susan Carpenter
