Another crash video (bastard cage driver plows throu biker group)

[Virago]

From the motorcyclecruiser.com site:

"Drinking Driver Kills Mexican Actor-Motorcyclist on Tape
Mexican television actor Edgar Ponce was killed when a car smashed into the group of motorcyclists he was riding with during an "unauthorized" nighttime shoot for a TV commercial. The driver and the producer could be charged. The video linked to below is not for the weak of stomach, but after watching it, we were amazed that only one person died."

The *sound* of those bikes being ploughed through just keeps ringing through my head. :weep:

That video makes me feel kinda sick, it's one thing watching a biker doing something stupid and binning it, but to see a group of bikers riding carefully (albeit without helmets) taken out like bowling pins by a car, and then seeing replays from several different angles... :puke:

At least when watching bike crashes due to rider error you can possibly learn something from them. Or if it's watching crashes of riders doing particularly risky things, at least they had an idea of the risk they were taking and had accepted that risk and the possible consequences.

[StoneChucker]

That really is scary... The tenpin bowling analogy is spot on, sickeningly so :puke:

I hope they opened a can of "kangaroo court justice" on the "loco" driver...
Sigh

Saw this the other day, apparently the driver got off (!!!) with nothing.

There are some places I just won't ride.

[crazylittleshit]

That's what the helmets are for beating the fuck out of the person that hit you if you live.

Oh my fucken god!

[hondacmx450]

he should have been hog tied to a bike just off the ground and taken for a ride and slowly lowed to the ground so he died a fucked deat as he caused no fellings for the car driver sorry for the biker
fuckn dicks driving cars :mad:

Police said the driver was not trying to kill Ponce, and did not appear drunk, but was accused of involuntary homicide — similar to manslaughter — and released on a bail of 300,000 pesos (US$27,000).

The guy who sell me the bike did tell me to keep in mind "all car drivers are idiot".............

Guys be careful with boyracers!!!!
this real human body bowling game is not fun!!! :mad:

No helmets and those glittery coats! Travelling that slow on a public road just tops it off.
The cage driver wasn't the only moron out there.

i was in Mexico a couple of years ago...i put my trust in a non English speaking bus driver!!!!( i don't think he could read iether!)

we came around a corner on a hill...... and over the side i could see all these wrecked cars/van/trucks/BUSES!! still lying where they were left, they had crashed off the side of the road.... no recovery truck here..
getting to the bottom of the hill..( a bit like the nelson side of gentle annie)
the was a truck on it's side on top of a car that had been coming the other way... the riff raff/speedmedic's hadn't got there yet.......brakes had gone i recone....no fire as it wasn't in the states..... i looked at the bus driver.. he lloked at me and shruged and we drove pass............
