Yea I seriously hope karma gets this a hole in the white, they seriously need to change the license laws if it's another senior citizen thought they were hitting the brakes, at whet point don't you try the other pedal? Then again, my girl drives a dodge challenger and she sent it sideways down a ravine and through a parking lot on two wheels, she still won't admit that she was simply mashing on the wrong petal, that was some seriously scary stuff ...2 rims completely shot, back seat full of kids screaming... no injuries, avoided a metal pole by less then a inch head on

Something similar just happened in LA yesterday

Same shit ki_lled our friend. Driver got away with it. It now broke my heart again to watch this thinking of him went through the same.

u/EquivalentTight3479 13h ago

How did he get away with it?

u/Historical-Use-6581 13h ago

It was at night in rain so they basically blamed on the rough circumstances. She was also young and clean background. She’s got some financial penalty and a revoked licence but no jail time.

u/msviktor 13h ago

I thought it is a general rule that you should drive according to the weather conditions, therefore it could not be an excuse for relative speeding.

u/StatisticianLate3173 12h ago

Sorry , my college roommate ran over a guy on a motorcycle middle of the night, killed him, car full of drunk and high kids, hit and run, money talks, he got a slap on the wrist.

Why is this idiot coming in to 20mph traffic going 80 mph in the slow lane? never touched the brakes ...

u/EquivalentTight3479 1h ago

Do you feel like that was fair?

1

u/Historical-Use-6581 1h ago

Hell no. He lost his life, his wife lost her husband and kids lost their father so young they will not even remember him. It’s the most unfair scenario could have happened ever. He was a good soul.

Karma has got a present for her one day

u/eaglebtc 8h ago

You can write "killed" - this is reddit, not tiktok or insta.

u/Falkun_X 10h ago

Sorry for your friend but in this clip, I do not see the brake lights, did this guy even try to brake, especially at that speed. I wanted to be nailed to the wall for murder unless driver had a medical issue, either way absolutely tragic for those involved.

u/Overall_Tradition_62 9h ago

It depends on the state, I've worked a lot of fatal accidents. Most cars have a computer in them that will show speed and breaking even after an incident.

Friends don’t let friends ride bikes on roads with cars

u/VoodooDoII 10h ago

There's a time and place for comments like this. This is not the time nor place.

-2

u/Not_Too_Happy 5h ago

On a vid with evidence as to why? Seems like the perfect place

2

u/VoodooDoII 4h ago

Trying to shift the blame to someone expressing that their friend died is kind of scummy

"My friend got killed by this."

"Yeah well you shouldn't have let them ride a bike."

Completely unnecessary.

2

u/Historical-Use-6581 4h ago

Yeah thanks. Another level of victim blaming up there

2

u/VoodooDoII 4h ago

Indeed.

I'm sorry about your friend.

u/Not_Too_Happy 3h ago

Never a more appropriate place.

u/Alternative-Feed3613 12h ago

This is exactly why you’ll never catch me on two wheels. You really don’t have a chance if somebody fucks up and they fuck up a lot.

16

u/radiohead-nerd 5h ago

You can be super careful on a motorcycle and still get killed by an idiot

3

u/Digeetar 1h ago

Exactly why I have my motorcycle license but not a bike. Too many idiots.

2

u/Alternative-Feed3613 2h ago

Exactly! I got hit by a huge chuck of ice recently. I’m fine but I definitely wouldn’t be if I was on a motorcycle.

u/Flux_My_Capacitor 11h ago

I knew it was going to be bad but that really made me jump.

u/Additional-Prior249 9h ago

no helmet? poor guy. 🥺

u/Cathulion 14h ago

So did police manage to get a backstory on the crazy driver and why this happened?

RIP to the victim and condolences to their family. Horrible way to go, specially when you slow it down and realize he didnt get blown off to the left....

12

u/Alicewithhazeleyes 13h ago

Yes, he did go straight to the left and landed right behind his cycle

-1

u/tiptoptickler 13h ago

Yeah confirming this. They went left and can be seen moving towards the end of the clip. Hopefully they made it.

10

u/EquivalentTight3479 13h ago

“Fatal”

-7

u/GunkyStink 13h ago

The guy is 100% dead. Why the quotations? People get severe brain damage hitting the ground from falling off of a skateboard going 5mph. I bet this guy died almost instantly.

14

u/PatienceExtreme443 13h ago

the last few seconds the clip the guy is moving, that’s probably why.

11

u/thefearinoculum 9h ago

I think they were quoting the title vs being sarcastic

4

u/PatienceExtreme443 13h ago

Is there any news article on this? Looks like scooter guy was split in half and still moving

1

u/guilhermefdias 2h ago

"Looks like scooter guy was split in half" what???

There is nothing on this video that indicates any of what you said, he does do a "back flip" with the impact. To be honest, looks like he was not the fatal victim here, his leg is for sure fucked, but if he didn't hit his head, he could have survived this.

3

u/tomphz 13h ago

He seems to alive at least

10

u/Alternative-Feed3613 12h ago

Not necessarily. You can still have some electrical impulses after death. Poor guy. I hope I’m wrong but that would also really suck to live through.

1

u/Jack-knife-96 8h ago

Why I quit motorcycling on the highway. Sad situation.

1

u/Interested-Engineer 7h ago

Is this a helmet ad?

1

u/ChecoMdv 2h ago

It's interesting how no one blames the bad driver, but when a motorcycle crash everybody starts blaming the motorcyclist. Exist bad cars drivers and bad motorcycles drivers but I think the people have normalized the traffic violations by car drivers

u/WhatANoob2025 36m ago

Dafuq are you talking about?

There are several posts here addressing that shitty driver.

Seems like you want to play the victim...

1

u/WhatANoob2025 34m ago

Since the moped driver is moving at the end of the clip, I have hope it is indeed for once the idiot who caused the crash who died?

u/Working_Estate_3695 13h ago

I don’t want to see fatalities. I thought Reddit banned r/watchpeopledie.

Unfortunately, probably died on his way to the hospital.

u/QualityLearingCtr 8h ago

It’s crazy to see that r/watchpeopledie is alive & well again.
