Fleeing Motorcyclist Walks Away From 100-Plus MPH Crash
Read the full story on The Auto Wire A man fleeing from police at speeds over 100 mph crashed his motorcycle on a Los Angeles highway, then walked away. Actually, he started with walking, then jogged down the side of the road, we guess trying to figure out another way to escape from the seen so many police chases like this one end badly with the suspect and perhaps others dying in a horrific crash. This time it at first looked like the guy was going to be street pizza, but he apparently drove for the slide instead of just the ride and that paid off. Sure, he eventually was caught by police after trying to escape on foot. But that's better than if he had died or been horrifically mangled. At least once he gets out of jail or prison or whatever, he can just keep living his life. Originally, the motorcyclist took off from an attempted traffic stop by California Highway Patrol for speeding. He must have heard if he went fast enough police would just back off. And they did. However, a police helicopter was overhead tracking his every move. That meant he couldn't see the cruisers behind him, but surely he could see he was traveling in one giant spot light. Still, the guy pushed his bike to 140 mph at one point, just weaving through slower traffic and cutting it super close repeatedly. It's a miracle he didn't run into some truck with a steel bumper while he was doing that. Instead, his motorcycle went down in a shower of sparks for a reason we can't perceive. Its possible he hit a rough patch in the pavement, his bike suffered death wobble and he dumped it, or maybe he clipped a car. Whatever it was, all that protective gear he was wearing did its job. This is why you wear that stuff while riding. Image via ABC7 Join our Newsletter, subscribe to our YouTube page, and follow us on Facebook.
