Speeding motorbike slams into a car turning into a side street
Motorbike that is speeding ends up slamming into the side of a car that is turning. It looks like the motorbike was also trying to turn and thought he could get squeeze next to the car through the corner. Passenger received minor injuries, driver didn't end up making it.

Target fixation? Jesus. BIkers are already at a disadvantage when riding as far as visibility. Doing shit like this is fucking reckless AND they had a passenger. Slow the fuck down.

u/tramsgener Jul 13 '25
Nah, target fixation happens in curves, not on straight roads. Unless you havent slept in 2 days, this wouldnt happen because of target fixation

u/Limp-Assistance237 Jul 17 '25
Not true.
That's how cops kill people in high speed pursuits. Their attention is locked on the "target" and not on the innocent kid they're about to run down.
Just one more thing on a massive list of why cops aren't people.

The fact he walked away was probably shock. They were hit hard.

The passenger walked away, the rider died.

u/AdResponsible678 Jul 13 '25
Right, ok wrong order, but my opinion still stands that the passenger walked away in shock. It is terrible that the driver died, however I see the careless driving on bikes often. Really tragic though.

u/NixAName Jul 13 '25
I ride, drive, and fly. People don't realise how close they are to death in all 3, and not just because of their own actions.
I almost never speed on my bike.

u/AdResponsible678 Jul 13 '25
Oh I agree. When I was younger I had motorcycles, loved them, but I took a course with my husband at Centennial College so I would have the skills and the safety to operate the bike properly. Worth every penny.

Fight or flight response with surge of adrenaline. You want to see the biker involved in accident to be moving. That is usually a good sign that their injury is bad but likely not fatal. You are also seeing the counter example.

The passenger must be feeling some survivors guilt. He likely survived because the driver cushioned his impact. This probably also cemented the drivers death.

I believe these biker groups go around stealing phones out of people's hands. The guy cares more about avoiding prison than checking on his dying friend. Yeah, maybe survivors guilt is a stretch.

We don’t know if he fled from this video. Not checking him immediately after a collision like this is just normal. People need a minute or two to process what just happened after this kind of incident.

u/Waiting4The3nd Jul 14 '25
Right? In a serious accident like this it can take several minutes for you to even realize what's going on, what has actually happened (beyond the nebulous "I've just been in an accident" but sometimes.. maybe not even that), shock and adrenaline can do a number on you.
I had a family member that was walking around for several minutes after an accident, and was angry about the accident. So it kept his adrenaline high. Moment he calmed down he fucking died. Fortunately EMS had arrived on scene and managed to revive him.. ironically by giving him more adrenaline, lol. The hospital ER got the damage repaired and he lived.
Thing was.. his wife was severely injured too, though nowhere nearly as bad as he was. But he acted like he wasn't even aware of her, according to witnesses. He was just shuffling around the accident scene yelling and cussing. Which was kind of a feat because half his body was severely broken... he was the passenger.. and they were t-boned in his door, in a time before side impact airbags. The pickup that hit them ran a red-light and witnesses said they were "flying low."

Glad to hear they’ve both survived and hope doing well. Something we were told during trauma training was if someone is missing a limb and not aware but conscious, it’s sometimes best to not tell them straight away, which can lead to mental breakdown and collapse and make things much worse potentially fatal for them.
Thanks for sharing this story, people need to read these comments to learn about basic human behaviour, otherwise internet is full of brainless zombies jumping on conclusions based on a few seconds of video.

u/ricky251294 Jul 14 '25
No that makes sense. You're disoriented and want to get out of the danger, I don't even think he realised anything outside of his immediate vision. You sort yourself out first, once the shock wears off then you realise everything else

If somebody got themselves killed by their own antics, while also putting me at risk of death, I sure as fuck wouldn't have survivors guilt.

The premise here being that people that dress like this, in this area, riding 2 to this sort of bike (moped or whatever) tend to be phone snatchers.
It's a straight-up assumption unless someone posted some proof along the way I didn't see.
But it could be a fair assumption, owing to being very common. I don't personally know.

All I did was explain the other person's assumption, which was shared amongst many in the comments. It would have adequately explained the reckless behavior and callous disregard for the rules of the road.
But again, I wasn't making any assumptions. Whatever the reason, the driver of the bike took it to his grave.

I don't know the specifics, the news reported the passenger only received minor injuries and the driver died in hopital later that day. If you look at how he hit the car, it looks like he potentially broke his neck. He also took the force of the passenger during the impact.

It looks like the driver's/operator left foot is up by their head. You can see the slight movement towards the end. On initial, watch I thought it was an extra helmet and clothes. The driver also cushioned the blow for the passenger.

Passenger pushing his body forward while car pushed his head back. Almost definitely a spinal/crush injury

if i had to guess; neck or spinal injuries. He bared the full force of stopping and stopping his passenger.

Broken Neck/cervical spine.
If you break your neck high enough your body can't send signals to breath and you have 3 minutes to live without oxygen while paralyzed.
The helmet made the force on his neck worse causing his head to turn right and the passengers momentum turned his body left.

I would be interested to see another angle of this crash. To me, it looks like the car turns from the second lane over crossing first into the bikers lane to make their turn. If that's the case, driver is clearly at fault but the biker also appeared to be going very fast.

The car not indicating had absolutely nothing to do with this accident. The motorbike drove down the wrong lane to go around them anyway, and if they had any situational awareness at all they could've determined the car was going to turn lol.
-19
Jul 13 '25
Arguable. You have no right to change lanes or turn if someone is overtaking you, especially without even indicating.
I don’t suggest this is the car driver’s fault especially considering the bike was speeding but this might not be a 100% clear case unless bike crossed a solid line which is unlikely. I really loathe people who don’t use the damn indicators which is the easiest part of driving (obviously not as much as speeding drivers).
23
u/derp-birb Jul 13 '25
The car was already well into its turn before the motorbike tried to go around it. You have no right to try and overtake someone as they're making a turn.
I also personally can't stand drivers that don't indicate, but it was completely irrelevant in this particular situation. The motorbike rider knew the car was turning and tried to beat it around the corner anyway.
5
u/werd225 Jul 14 '25
You are correct - you shouldn't be maneuvering while being overtaken, but you also shouldn't be overtaking through a junction. Highway Code 167:
DO NOT overtake where you might come into conflict with other road users. For example approaching or at a road junction on either side of the road
I wouldn't blame the car driver here - they made a minor mistake by not indicating, the rider made a major mistake by overtaking a car through a junction with an excess of speed.

His mate is just walking it off 🤣. Also, if the bike had been driving the speed limit, they would've noticed the car slowing down to turn and could've avoided the crash. Sure, the car should've indicated, but at the same time, the bike shouldn't have been speeding.

This isn't a two lane road, it's a single carriageway. The car and bike are in the same lane, the other lane is for oncoming traffic. The only thing the car did wrong was not indicating.

u/SnooMaps7370 Jul 17 '25
how the fuck was the bike supposed to know the car was going cross from riding the left curb to making a right turn? I'm not sure about the country this happened in, but "turn right from the left side of the road" is not a legal maneuver anywhere i've ever driven.
0
u/SatisfactionSpecial2 Jul 17 '25
By looking ahead, same as everyone sees what cars ahead of them do. If you can't react then you have to go slower.
I assume this is UK so they drive at the left side, so for them to go to turn right they will inevitably have to cross the road, it doesn't make sense for it to be illegal as then they would have no way to turn right.
In any case, the bike was doing exactly the same thing, except with triple the speed and in a space he couldn't fit. If the bike went straight ahead or if it slowed down he would be alive.
