    One car lost control and hit another one. I read about it before being referred to as a serious chain-reaction multi-car pileup. Gawd what the journalists will do to hype a story.

    Have they even caught the guy I wonder. And I wonder what brought about the door kicking.

    The car had pushed the rider over in the lane or completely out of the lane just prior to the video starting. There was an exchange of gestures and words. That's when the fellow started recording.

    "multi-car"? Were there more vehicles involved other than the sedan and pick up truck?

    A video never tells the whole story. That being said, it Looks like the car driver tried to intentionally use his car to hit the motorcyclist after the kick - if that's true, IMO, that driver over-reacted Big Time and he/she is the one who caused the resulting 2 car collision. Biker probably looking at leaving the scene of an accident at minimum. Driver could possibly face charges of Assault with a Deadly Weapon or even Attempted Murder. Have to wait and see what CHP/DA office says...

    lol I hear you... I'm not sure when journalism turned into sensationalism but I guess "two vehicle collision" doesn't quite capture the attention/imagination...

    It wasn't even a 2 vehicle collision. It was one vehicle hitting a bike, guardrail, then truck. Only one driver caused all that carnage..

    He should have stopped further down the road when it was safe to do so. Not sensible arguing with a driver and making yourself a target as happened in this case. If the rider had been on a much lighter bike he would definitely have hit the barrier and who knows what his injuries would have been . Lack of common sense all around.

    That's a great question - please let me know when you find the answer.



    Edit: I found the answer - CycleCruza says LA just has the worst drivers :D

    Now that's a much wiser course. Flipping someone off who outweighs you by 5 or 6 times may not be the wisest thing to do.

    I think that moto guy should turn himself in and say he left scene out of fear for his life. He should be able to get out of it that way because we all saw the guy tried to kill him.

    All the video shows is the guy on the bike kick the car door. The guy in the car could easily say he swerved to get away from the guy attacking him and lost control. Nothing shows the car provoking the attack.

    Not when he whips it left after the kick. That was intentional but the resulting carnage was not. I bet the cager gets multiple charges.

    It's funny CycleCruza talks about the most dangerous cities for motorcycles all the while doing triple digit speeds, taking both hands off the bars and talking to a video camera microphone! One of the most dangerous riders in motorcycling is CycleCruza! :Rofl:
