Knowing that area... and understanding the weather Saturday... I would suspect wind was a factor.

I would suspect being 79 years old could also be a factor

Remembering how the wind affects "Red Diamond", I would suspect you are both correct, but I would add in light weight bike.

A curve on I-20? 

Saw a picture - looked like a crotch rocket.

Prayers to the family - hope I'm still riding at 79.
