It's hard to comment on it without being there and knowing the full situation.

Yes, she may have stopped, but what were the motorcyclist doing? Were they speeding or following too closely to stop? Was it poor weather conditions (I doubt it if the mother/wife witnessed it all happen). Did the car driver slam on the brakes and skid to a stop?

Personally, I'm going to stop if a duck is crossing the road infront of me. I'm not gonna slam on my breaks to cause an accident, but I'm not going to run it over. I would of course throw on my hazard lights as well, which are made to nootify others that you are stopped or moving extremely slowly (they are NOT made to drive in the rain with! Sorry off topic).

Anyways, point is, the article doesn't give the whole story, so it's hard to know exactly why the crash happened.
