IN'NA LIL'LAH O WA IN'NA ILAIHAY RAJIOON.. really shocked and sad to see tht three lives hav been lost.. may ALLAH giv the sens of driving/riding/walking to all of us.. ameen..!

You cross a red light you meet an accident and you die, it is considered to be a haram death.
Here since both the parties were involved in violation like biker doing 140 was illegal (70-80 is the legal limit within town) and car moving on wrong way was also illegal so both can be considered to have embraced haram death... its equivalent to a suicide!!

I hope no one gets offended but there is a fatwa already on this issue.

In the fatwa, Dr. al Haddad asserts that those who run red lights, change lanes or go over the speed limit jeopardize themselves and others. “This might cause their death, kill others or inflict damage on their and others’ properties, which is considered harm and prohibited by Islam.
The fatwa came after Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Prime Minister and Vice President of the United Arab Emirates and the Ruler of Dubai, summoned officials and demanded that a system to discourage reckless driving be implemented.

I don't think we need to create a topic for a person who was driving his car on the wrong side of the road which caused the death of two persons.... @ poster you should be sorry for the loss of two lives caused due to carelessness of your friend rather making him a hero...
