Pedestrian wiped out in freak bike accident.

In what kind of country does nobody check on the injured person lying in the middle of the road

France or Italy........a guy is calling someone...and it's on TV so someone knows....

My reaction, too, was "wow, so much for anyone taking a concern in the poor pedestrian lying motionless on the crossing!". Subsequent posts might explain that, but I still couldn't believe the vehicles still going through the crossing while the body lay there.

Silly...they only have to stop for pedestrian's crossing...the lady on the ground has already crossed over...

[QUOTE=Mom;1129871838Who thought Fuckit! and rushed to the aid of the pedestrian, we cant see the biker in the clip, but no doubt the same thing is happening there.[/QUOTE]

Biker appears at 46 seconds i think...


Also, the force was enough to whip the shoes right off her feet!!!

I stopped for a major car accident I saw happen behind me in my mirrors. By the time I had pulled up onto the footpath, taken helmet and gear off, secured helmet and gear then walked back up the road to the crash there would have been a dozen people at that accident - pedestrians and people who had come out of their houses. They were all just standing on the footpath staring. I was the first one on the phone to 111, there was even somebody standing there texting while having a gawk. I also distinctly remember hearing someone in the crowd say "Somebody should call 911".

It's in America, and it was a guy. And he died at hospital. Otherwise, you were right on the money.

I we cant see the biker in the clip, but no doubt the same thing is happening there.

At about 35s a guy walks into view and removes his helmet, and is seen to be wandering around in either shock or disbelief.

Here ya go.

Motorcyclist crashes into car and directly hits a crossing pedestrian. Very sad.

Tarpon Springs, Florida, USA: Tuesday, June 15, 2010 -- no, people of the internet - this did NOT happen in St. Petersburg, Russia...

A Holiday man walking along a road was killed Monday evening by a motorcycle flipping from another collision, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

Richard K. Dickens, 53, died.

Luz M. Quiles, 73, of Holiday was driving a 1990 Toyota east on Louis Avenue and trying to turn left at Lucas Street.

At the same time, a Suzuki motorcycle traveling over the speed limit was passing slower vehicles on Louis Avenue from the westbound lane.

The motorcyclist, Joshua H. Cross, 20, of Tarpon Springs, collided with the left front portion of the Toyota as it attempted the left turn.

The impact flipped the motorcycle several times, sending it toward the north shoulder. That's where it hit Dickens, who died at Helen Ellis Memorial Hospital in Tarpon Springs.

Cross' injuries were serious. Quiles suffered minor injuries.

Charges are pending.

No further information was released.

I've been at an accident with people lying on the road and car drivers demanding they be carried off the road so they could continue their journey .. even after explaining that moving them could kill them or do more damage the drivers had to be restrained from picking up people and moving them ...

I've also seen, at an accident, a car try to push past a cop standing in the middle of the road in front of a car with a torch and clearly indicating STOP! The cop had her hands on the bonnet of the car and the driver just kept rolling ... finally the cop, in desparation, reached in the window, turned off the car and pulled the key out ...

Some people are just unbelievable ..
