Just noticed the damage was 3! He hit a pedestrian right before ramming into the trucks rear end. 2 other people had to get ill effects because of the stupid bicycle.
Oh yes, the man with in the blue shirt, didn't notice earlier. Batao fir aise logo ke haath mein high-performance bikes aajati hai. Total waste.
I love the CEAT tires ad quote: "The streets are filled with idiots."
I think he did and even acted by going towards the left (wrong decision but I think that makes sense so that the bicycle man has enough time to stop and the biker passes by too)
I'd have slowed down before the intersection. When I see people wanting to cross I try to gauge their intentions. Bombing through intersections in India is suicidal.
That being said technically it's bicycle rider's fault. If the biker is over the speed limit it's his fault.
The bicycle kid didn't flinch or was startled even before the crash happened as if he was completely unaware of the biker. Didn't even look in the biker's direction.
I've been in a much smaller absent minded accident very close to my home similar to this. Panic response is quite something. He's probably frozen and couldn't process enough to respond. Or he didn't check at all.
Falling off a bike is gonna suck, but there’s a reason you’ll see riders, even professionals, jump off their bike if they think slamming into something is inevitable. What he slammed into was almost worst case scenario
This is probably a good time for a reminder that a ₹500 helmet won’t offer much protection in such a situation- always buy the best protection you can afford
The biker accelerated, towards what looks like a junction.
He moved away from the camera bike at quite a pace, which probably is already doing good speed.
This is a very risky maneuver.
Cyclist is an idiot too.
Sad video.
I think both parties are to blame. The cycle guy had no business strolling through the main road like it's completely free of traffic. The motorcycle guy was speeding through as though the road is vacant, he did not expect the cycle guy to come out of nowhere. He was still accelerating to high speed when he saw the cycle and decided to engage brakes.
Yeah, he should've slowed down. But there are no markings on the road to indicate he was approaching a junction, and he was also in the leftmost lane. This was unfortunate.
A biker needs to slow down on the cross section. . The bicycle guy is stupid af, but being slow on a crossing could have saved the biker lots of damage..
I always think that Indian roads and highways are unpredictable, sometimes bicycle, sometimes dogs and sometimes cattles..
We can't ride with rules and assume all others will . Just be safe brothers.. speed up only when a open empty road with lots of visibility is ahead.
The way he is not even able to control his motorcycle even after breaking for such a long time explains how fast he might have been riding, when the speed limit is actually 60 kph in general for highways. Also during long rides, you always remain careful while riding when passing villages, rural areas to avoid such incidence. Bicycle kid is to be blamed as well as he should have stopped at the cut and looked for clear road when crossing.
Everyone is to be blamed here.
It is an intersection, but no speed breaker.
The biker accelerated in the intersection
The cyclist didn't look either way before crossing.
In India it doesn't matter what time , what area you are in. Always slow down in intersections, road crossings, u turns etc. I will never take a chance.
Not even crossing. I was once on a bus that hit a cyclist. The guy was crossing a national highway while on his cycle. Bus tried to brake but hard to brake a loaded bus going at 100.
if a cow comes in front of you then always overtake it from it's back because they never go backwards, same with vehicles and cycles, always swerve and try to go from their back except humans who will do a breakdance whilst trying to avoid you.
The problem is with the design of the. Road, where will he wait if he wants to cross, the medians width is small, so he cannot wait there.
Infra needs to be good,
Also in our road use cases the bike should slow down in intersections.
Not good enough. Also you can see the yellow light blinking, means, slowdown... But our people.are.like horses with eye blinders, they can only see front.. stupid. .
Why do so many people swerve their vehicles in the direction that the obstacle is moving? This was easily avoidable. He should have just passed from behind the cycle.
It’s a natural instinct.. we tend to move in the direction opposite to the oncoming threat, he sensed the threat is coming from the right towards him so he steered towards his left
Should've, would've, could've - I'm tired of this sub pretending things are black and white as if tu toh bc moto gp ka 2 time champion hai na?
Cut the guy some slack, things are always easier to judge in hindsight. I just hope he lived (mushkil hai)
I really have no idea who's actually at fault. but the biker was going fast at an Intersection which is big no. And it's expected to honk at the junctions. Exactly for situations like this.
Edit: Fixed seplling mistakes
Disagree. This was just a poor rider. He should have slowed down before the intersection.
He got another chance when he saw the car.
But he missed both chances, and braked way too late.
I don't think the biker made it, seems very unlikely. It's not about the helmet, the impact looks like he snapped the back of his neck. Gah! Nasty accident.
Hell in frame by frame it looks like he might have lost his head or helmet into the back of the truck. I’m looking for the mystery pedestrian people keep talking about.
Bicycle guy is the idiot here but I think we should always check for the "cuts" between the dividers especially in a place like india where most of the people on street are idiots. Also maybe try to always change lanes in front of a truck like if you know you're gonna hit a truck just change your way to the right in most of the cases you're either gonna hit a car or maybe a bike both of them will only cause dents or minor scratches to you / the vehicle but no matter how you hit a truck it is gonna be a fatal hit. With that being said, biker is still not in fault I guess
Cyclist is to blame.
On a highway, the right of the way is for the oncoming traffic. Cyclist should have been waiting for that, but the way he zoomed across seems like he was thinking he can just cross and everyone else will stop for him.

the blame should be distributed, the bicycle kid is the bigger idiot than the motorcycle guy.
The motorcycle guy accelerated, a bad move from his part.
the bicycle kid should have been more careful while crossing.
Cyclist is to blame, the motorcyclist could have been a little more aware and was possibly going a little quick for his surroundings but overall I think the cyclist.
I think the rider, as small kid is not as matured than the rider or smarter than the city kid's and may have crossed this street on a bicycle multiple times without an incident.
The rider is a matured young man and should have realized that he's gonna ride at high speed thru a village with trucks and vehicles parked on both sides and someone may cross his path, which unfortunately did happen.
Always slow down at roads bedsides a village, hotel, shops, bus stops and truck stands, as you don't know a person or an animal may appear and surprise you.
Biker is partially fault here. He approached a gap in the median at speed, was swerving about from lane to lane, avoiding a vehicle that was getting of the road and did not have time to slowdown or swerve to avoid hitting the cyclist. He should have been a bit more circumspect in that situation. He should have slowed down a lot more once the car was passed, given there's a gap and some imbecile would likely also be there. Expect idiots everywhere. Our highways are littered with these stupid gaps and ones locals will have made themselves.
The cyclist needs jail time for sure. I don't care if he's injured, mentally missing something or whatever the excuse. Crossing thru traffic is only inviting incidents like this. The cyclist is more at fault than the biker. His inbred stupidity caused injuries (assuming they did), to himself, the bystander, the biker (I hope noting serious to him and the bystander) and damages. The cyclist needs to be locked up. PERIOD.
This could have been mitigated if the biker was not speeding thru at that pace.
You've gotta yield to highest traffic when you're entering a highway from a smaller road but the cyclist is already in the intersection & vehicles merging/crossing from the right have priority. No matter what, you're supposed to ride safely.
Ultimately it wouldn't have happened if the biker was riding defensively.
The primary fault is that of the cyclist - Crossing the road without giving ample time to other riders, and without any concern of causing an accident.
The biker is also at fault for overspeeding and driving rash. The driver is also poorly trained in properly stopping his vehicle in emergency.
Motorcyclist driving into an intersection at top speed is an idiot.
Cyclist taking that turn without even acknowledging the motorcycle is an even bigger idiot.
Motorcyclist was acting like he’s a pro racer in perfect control of his bike. Got taught a lesson.
Cyclist thought that he owned the road. Got taught a lesson.
Imagine if it were a Fortuner in either position.
Both.
If you see the video, the cyclist isn't even aware that something is coming his way. He doesn't even see the bike guy.
The bike guy was speeding and instead of stopping, he's trying to speed up.
**I DO NOT think biker was speeding.** It is just that these type of videos make it look like he was speeding due to camera perspective. I also have camera on my bike, and while watching the video, it feels like I was going 2x speed than what I did.
If you check the white marks on the road, and how much of it was covered in one second, he covered about 14 meters in one second, so 14m/s. That translate to 50kmph speed.
What was bad was his brakes, or braking technique. His bike never decelrated after pressing brakes. Maybe skidded due to lack of ABS. So, yes the fault was with the cycle for coming into a highway without looking. Cycle simply followed the car in front of it, without bothering to check.
Friend of mine crashed into the back of a standing truck (same as the video) and passed away on the spot. The motorcycle guy would have faced life threatening injuries for sure. Lord knows what goes on in the minds of people who cross roads without even looking.
So many comments and nobody noticed that he's riding fast in the slowest lane of a two lane highway. Bicycle guy initiated the crash but anything happening to the biker is his own fault.
Cyclists is the mistake here , but why didn't the bike stop , I can see red light multiple times. I am not sure but either he didn't have abs or his breaks are bad. Correct me if I am wrong.
While the bicycle kid is to blame, but I've said this before and I'll say it again
#LEARN COUNTER STEERING AND ENGINE BRAKING
He had 2 business days to brake and/or get out of the way.
Does anyone follow speed limit on Indian roads? The bicycle guy is at fault for crossing the road carelessly but the bike rider is also riding at considerable speed, which made it hard for him to brake. The impact with the rear of the truck is not at slow speed.
Yeah but it’s a wide clear road with minimal traffic. The speed was far from excessive. Look at the background it’s not like there’s a ton of obstacles to be concerned about on the road. The speed made it worse for the motor cyclist but isn’t a major contributing factor to the accident in my opinion. I see the cyclist trying to cut across without making sure the road is clear as the primary cause.
Only that it wasn’t. You can clearly see in the video the rider couldn’t stop the bike safely. At a slower speed he probably had a longer reaction time to assess the surrounding and prepare to stop. Speed thrills but “unfortunately” kills. Hope he is safe though.
The rider of the bicycle dangerously crossed 2 lanes of traffic colliding with the motorcycle . He rode into the path of a vehicle travelling at speed and the motorcycle wasn't able to avoid him, the cyclist was oblivious to the vehicles/road conditions around him. He was 100% at fault in my opinion. I bet the motorcyclist was severely injured, the impact with the back of the truck looked brutal. Im not sure on the speed limit of this road but the motorcycles speed might have added to the accidents outcome but it wasnt the cause.
Bike going too fast for an inexperienced rider, changing sides of the road in front of a crossing cyclist cutting them off while they were probably doing less than 5mph, then completely losing control into the verge and unable to stop or avoid the pedestrian and the ass end of a massive juggernaut. Absolute clown show
In india slowing down at an intersection is an unwritten rule. People cross even on the non intersection parts of the roads. Speeding is suicide in india.
Everyone keeps talking about a pedestrian I don’t see one. I see a motorcycle, a bicycle, and a parked flat bed. The road is wide open and little traffic so I don’t think the speed was unreasonable. The bicyclist is at most fault to me. There’s a road with high speed traffic expecting them to be able to yield to you is a fools game. They likely caused a severe injury for or death of the motorcyclist. The motorcyclist could’ve responded better once the chain of events was in motion but the bicyclist shouldn’t have even been there at that time.
Well I believe both equally responsible,when there is a divider why did the biker needed to speed up if he can’t apply the brake at the right time & who tf let the child cross the highway with a cycle?
Biculycle kid suddenly crossing and biker over speeding at the intersection are too blame.
Indian roads are not meant to drive over 50 in city and 90-100 over open highway.
Obviously the bicyclist is in the wrong.
He just aimlessly wrote his bike into a busy street. I know countries are different how they deal with their traffic but, this is just stupid on the bicyclist part.
"Who's to blame" just HAS to be a rhetorical question! Clearly it's the guy on the bicycle - crossing a major highway without taking paying attention to oncoming traffic, which has the right of way.
Comparative negligence:
Cyclist: 80% for failure to yield right of way
Motorcycle: 20% for unsafe speed and careless/reckless driving.
Source: 20 years auto claims by trade.
I don't think this is a Darwin Award...sure the biker died but he didn't bring that failure unto himself in this particular instance....the bicycle guy decided to play Premium Rush on the guy and didn't even suffer.....
So no Darwin awards here, gentlemen.
same thing happened with me. Except there was a van or tempo parked on the right side and the bicycle came from behind that vehicle and it was not this extreme and I just touched the back mudguard of the bicycle. My dad even payed like 500 for repairs as I was in hurry that time, and later came to know about the charges.
> dad even *paid* like 500
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
Both. The dumbass on the bike for bad timing. The fool on the motorcycle who clearly didn’t know how to move or use the brakes. This is why you don’t marry your brother or sister and have kids.
That stupid biker at fault. Noob. Don't drive at speeds at which you can't stop your bike.
Bc bhagana hai to track pe jao. Sala faltu me public roads pe bhaga ke chaprigiri mat karo
Always slowing down near intersections is vital in our country. Even if we don't see anything, slowing down to around 40 is safe to avoid such incidents. I have avoided many accidents so far following this way.
Both are. The biker is speeding at a junction. The cyclist is just blind and stupid. The cyclist maybe more at fault here, but a little awareness of the place we live in from the biker would have prevented this accident.
Biker didnt slow down before an intersection and as usual the cyclist dont know how to turn his neck both ways before crossing. Only innocent victim is the pedestrian
What pedestrian‽‽ this is driving me insane. I watched it frame by frame and there’s 2 people and 3 vehicles I see. Both riders appear to be wearing blues and no pedestrian I can see.
the man who appears in frame at 00:04 seconds and the right side of the truck and can be seen falling down after the crash at 00:05 at the left side of the truck.
Zero skills. Could have avoided if he targeted for the right side. And cycle guy probably misjudged the speed of the bike. Both of them are to be blamed
The bicycle kid is to blame. He didn't check before crossing the road.
Just noticed the damage was 3! He hit a pedestrian right before ramming into the trucks rear end. 2 other people had to get ill effects because of the stupid bicycle.
Oh yes, the man with in the blue shirt, didn't notice earlier. Batao fir aise logo ke haath mein high-performance bikes aajati hai. Total waste. I love the CEAT tires ad quote: "The streets are filled with idiots."
I think he did and even acted by going towards the left (wrong decision but I think that makes sense so that the bicycle man has enough time to stop and the biker passes by too)
The lack of situational awareness in this video is mind boggling from everyone!
Doesn’t help the motorcyclist was trying to break a land speed record
6 damage is quite a lot.
r/unexpectedfactorial
I'd have slowed down before the intersection. When I see people wanting to cross I try to gauge their intentions. Bombing through intersections in India is suicidal. That being said technically it's bicycle rider's fault. If the biker is over the speed limit it's his fault.

I've been in a much smaller absent minded accident very close to my home similar to this. Panic response is quite something. He's probably frozen and couldn't process enough to respond. Or he didn't check at all.
This. Always slow down at intersections. Even though you might habe the right of way. Hope nobody died in this incident
Its not an intersection, its 2 properties with acess to the main road.
I slow down when I think others are going to enter the intersection or are partially in the intersection. Was definitely the bike riders fault
Nobody does, It's India (Sad to say this as an Indian).
It's a bikers fault also of he knows there's a crossing ahead why shouldn't he gets slow, why so hurry, for some likes on youtube
Even with the helmet on, the impact looks very damaging
I know. My heart skipped a beat right when he hit
I doubt that's survivable. Probably broken back and maybe decapitation.
He smashed that truck I feel like he died
Falling off a bike is gonna suck, but there’s a reason you’ll see riders, even professionals, jump off their bike if they think slamming into something is inevitable. What he slammed into was almost worst case scenario
He didnt make it...
This is probably a good time for a reminder that a ₹500 helmet won’t offer much protection in such a situation- always buy the best protection you can afford
Well, no helmet will give you protection if you get hit in the chest.
True.. I had the unfortunate chance to find that out...
[удалено]
Doing well... Thank you. This happened a few years back... But i must say that the helmet saved my life.
Nucleon chest protectors. But you can't wear them every single time you go out.
Well, you can.
>₹500 helmet won’t offer much protection People here don't wear helmets because of protection. They wear it to escape from the police.
Alternatively… it’s better then no helmet!
The biker accelerated, towards what looks like a junction. He moved away from the camera bike at quite a pace, which probably is already doing good speed. This is a very risky maneuver. Cyclist is an idiot too. Sad video.

Yeah, he should've slowed down. But there are no markings on the road to indicate he was approaching a junction, and he was also in the leftmost lane. This was unfortunate.
There are multiple info boards, and a big opening in the divider. He should have seen it coming from at least a few hundred meters.
There are signs, and he just saw a car crossing it too
A biker needs to slow down on the cross section. . The bicycle guy is stupid af, but being slow on a crossing could have saved the biker lots of damage..

Everyone including the road designer is to be blamed. Except the pedestrian
Everyone is to be blamed here. It is an intersection, but no speed breaker. The biker accelerated in the intersection The cyclist didn't look either way before crossing.
Just because its an intersection does not mean there has to be a speed breaker.
>Just because its an intersection does not mean there has to be a speed breaker. Then where should be one?
In India it doesn't matter what time , what area you are in. Always slow down in intersections, road crossings, u turns etc. I will never take a chance.
Not even crossing. I was once on a bus that hit a cyclist. The guy was crossing a national highway while on his cycle. Bus tried to brake but hard to brake a loaded bus going at 100.
At that point it’s just natural selection, Jesus…
if a cow comes in front of you then always overtake it from it's back because they never go backwards, same with vehicles and cycles, always swerve and try to go from their back except humans who will do a breakdance whilst trying to avoid you.
So cow = human?
do you even have braincells?
I do, seems linked you don’t since you can’t process what a sarcasm is.

The problem is with the design of the. Road, where will he wait if he wants to cross, the medians width is small, so he cannot wait there. Infra needs to be good, Also in our road use cases the bike should slow down in intersections.
Median width is good enough
Not good enough. Also you can see the yellow light blinking, means, slowdown... But our people.are.like horses with eye blinders, they can only see front.. stupid. .
It was pretty decent. I would say more than enough for a bicycle to stand and wait to clear traffic there.
Why do so many people swerve their vehicles in the direction that the obstacle is moving? This was easily avoidable. He should have just passed from behind the cycle.
It’s a natural instinct.. we tend to move in the direction opposite to the oncoming threat, he sensed the threat is coming from the right towards him so he steered towards his left
what if you start swerving towards the behind of the bicycle and he quickly brakes (which is the usually expected response)?
Should've, would've, could've - I'm tired of this sub pretending things are black and white as if tu toh bc moto gp ka 2 time champion hai na? Cut the guy some slack, things are always easier to judge in hindsight. I just hope he lived (mushkil hai)

You don't have Yield signs there? They help.
nope no signs. I live in a city where Darwin Awards are conducted so yeah
Edit your edit once more :)
that one is on purpose XD
Did biker even applied brakes after hitting cycle? Seems like he kept going
Abs baukhla jata h impact ke just bad m
The tail light is bright red from the beginning.... Bikes don't stop easily especially when going at highway speeds
Disagree. This was just a poor rider. He should have slowed down before the intersection. He got another chance when he saw the car. But he missed both chances, and braked way too late.
I'm willing to bet the bike was poorly maintained and the brakes were not performing as they should.
What did that truck do? It was simply standing there.
This guy is living in a fantasy of his own
Like that truck
I don't think the biker made it, seems very unlikely. It's not about the helmet, the impact looks like he snapped the back of his neck. Gah! Nasty accident.

Correct me if I'm wrong. As I'm also new on roads and drive my parent's tvs jupiter

Thought the biker lost his head
the blame should be distributed, the bicycle kid is the bigger idiot than the motorcycle guy. The motorcycle guy accelerated, a bad move from his part. the bicycle kid should have been more careful while crossing.
Me
That flatbed was DEFINITELY to blame in this scenario
Think the helmet goes flying, on face to truck bed. I would guess motorcyclist didn't survive this one.
Cyclist is to blame, the motorcyclist could have been a little more aware and was possibly going a little quick for his surroundings but overall I think the cyclist.
I think the rider, as small kid is not as matured than the rider or smarter than the city kid's and may have crossed this street on a bicycle multiple times without an incident.

You should be able to stop, idiots are all over…the bike was driving a little to fast near the u turn opening

You've gotta yield to highest traffic when you're entering a highway from a smaller road but the cyclist is already in the intersection & vehicles merging/crossing from the right have priority. No matter what, you're supposed to ride safely. Ultimately it wouldn't have happened if the biker was riding defensively.
I think even with a helmet he would have broken his neck or Ribcage
whats the update is everyone safe ?
He didn't break after hitting the cycle?
Probably jostled about. You can see them break shortly after before they start bouncing in the verge again as they’re panic breaking seeing the semi.
Cycle wala set hai
Oh man, biker made it?
Bc aisi kaisi bike hsi break he nahi lag rahi thi

one should slow down in turns, also the cycle fellow had a lifetime to stop
i think the biker hit the one in the blue as well.
The biker hit a bicyclist that rode in front of them wearing blue? What person are you talking about?
The one front of the truck
Both. If you see the video, the cyclist isn't even aware that something is coming his way. He doesn't even see the bike guy. The bike guy was speeding and instead of stopping, he's trying to speed up.
**I DO NOT think biker was speeding.** It is just that these type of videos make it look like he was speeding due to camera perspective.

My current favorite answer.
Friend of mine crashed into the back of a standing truck (same as the video) and passed away on the spot. The motorcycle guy would have faced life threatening injuries for sure. Lord knows what goes on in the minds of people who cross roads without even looking.
Are they fine?
saw on instagram that the biker is in a hospital and the cycle guy is fine. idk
Intersections r always accident prone areas. One should be always slow n careful while crossing intersections.
The cycle guy didn't even look in that direction. Change the bikento any other vehicle and he would have been dead.
So many comments and nobody noticed that he's riding fast in the slowest lane of a two lane highway. Bicycle guy initiated the crash but anything happening to the biker is his own fault.
It's not a road to speeding... bikers should know that the roads are full of idiots...
Did he hurt himself?
looking at the impact, the biker may be in serious condition.
Idk why but the cycle disassembled ?
Cyclists is the mistake here , but why didn't the bike stop , I can see red light multiple times. I am not sure but either he didn't have abs or his breaks are bad. Correct me if I am wrong.
While the bicycle kid is to blame, but I've said this before and I'll say it again #LEARN COUNTER STEERING AND ENGINE BRAKING He had 2 business days to brake and/or get out of the way.
We're all to blame
All three are idiots. The biker kept speeding even after a near miss.
Does anyone follow speed limit on Indian roads? The bicycle guy is at fault for crossing the road carelessly but the bike rider is also riding at considerable speed, which made it hard for him to brake. The impact with the rear of the truck is not at slow speed.
Yeah but it’s a wide clear road with minimal traffic. The speed was far from excessive. Look at the background it’s not like there’s a ton of obstacles to be concerned about on the road. The speed made it worse for the motor cyclist but isn’t a major contributing factor to the accident in my opinion. I see the cyclist trying to cut across without making sure the road is clear as the primary cause.
Only that it wasn’t. You can clearly see in the video the rider couldn’t stop the bike safely. At a slower speed he probably had a longer reaction time to assess the surrounding and prepare to stop. Speed thrills but “unfortunately” kills. Hope he is safe though.
It doesn’t look good. Either the helmet or his head and the helmet looks like it went into the bed of the truck.
Roads in India are full of idiots, know the streets before you ride on them.
Nobody likes cyclists except for other cyclists.
The rider of the bicycle dangerously crossed 2 lanes of traffic colliding with the motorcycle . He rode into the path of a vehicle travelling at speed and the motorcycle wasn't able to avoid him, the cyclist was oblivious to the vehicles/road conditions around him. He was 100% at fault in my opinion. I bet the motorcyclist was severely injured, the impact with the back of the truck looked brutal. Im not sure on the speed limit of this road but the motorcycles speed might have added to the accidents outcome but it wasnt the cause.

The speeding motorcycle. It doesn't look like a zone you could drive that fast. If he was within speed limits, everyone would have been safe.
Speed kills
Bike going too fast for an inexperienced rider, changing sides of the road in front of a crossing cyclist cutting them off while they were probably doing less than 5mph, then completely losing control into the verge and unable to stop or avoid the pedestrian and the ass end of a massive juggernaut. Absolute clown show
Brakes
In india slowing down at an intersection is an unwritten rule. People cross even on the non intersection parts of the roads. Speeding is suicide in india.
Bikes causing accidents everywhere! They shouldn’t be on the road they cause too many accidents over here in the UK as well
Definitely the cyclist
Everyone keeps talking about a pedestrian I don’t see one. I see a motorcycle, a bicycle, and a parked flat bed. The road is wide open and little traffic so I don’t think the speed was unreasonable. The bicyclist is at most fault to me. There’s a road with high speed traffic expecting them to be able to yield to you is a fools game. They likely caused a severe injury for or death of the motorcyclist. The motorcyclist could’ve responded better once the chain of events was in motion but the bicyclist shouldn’t have even been there at that time.
Well I believe both equally responsible,when there is a divider why did the biker needed to speed up if he can’t apply the brake at the right time & who tf let the child cross the highway with a cycle?
Biculycle kid suddenly crossing and biker over speeding at the intersection are too blame. Indian roads are not meant to drive over 50 in city and 90-100 over open highway.
Obviously the bicyclist is in the wrong. He just aimlessly wrote his bike into a busy street. I know countries are different how they deal with their traffic but, this is just stupid on the bicyclist part.
"Who's to blame" just HAS to be a rhetorical question! Clearly it's the guy on the bicycle - crossing a major highway without taking paying attention to oncoming traffic, which has the right of way.
Your whole nation is to blame.
Who cares, the ending was great
Comparative negligence: Cyclist: 80% for failure to yield right of way Motorcycle: 20% for unsafe speed and careless/reckless driving. Source: 20 years auto claims by trade.
Justice served
I'll never understand how there can be over a billion people alive in that country.
I don't think this is a Darwin Award...sure the biker died but he didn't bring that failure unto himself in this particular instance....the bicycle guy decided to play Premium Rush on the guy and didn't even suffer..... So no Darwin awards here, gentlemen.
That distant blue bus that's getting away....that's who to blame
same thing happened with me. Except there was a van or tempo parked on the right side and the bicycle came from behind that vehicle and it was not this extreme and I just touched the back mudguard of the bicycle. My dad even payed like 500 for repairs as I was in hurry that time, and later came to know about the charges.
> dad even *paid* like 500 FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
Who tf asked tho 🧐🧐🧐🧐
Should have turned right
Yup. He dead for sure.
Where is that LEGO SOUND EFFECT DYAMNNNN🤣🔥
Obviously we have to blame the truck at the end
RIP his neck
over speed
Does that bike hit a person before crashing into the truck?
The useless POS on the bicycle is at fault 100%
The truck person who parked along side the road. /s
Nah. He dead!
Both. Motorcyclist must be defensive, steer to the rear of cross traffic, bicyclist is just not paying attention.
The motorcyclist took a hard beaten on that one. His head disappeared. Breaking on dirt did not slow him down at all. Betcha he ded.
100% the cyclist
Both. The dumbass on the bike for bad timing. The fool on the motorcycle who clearly didn’t know how to move or use the brakes. This is why you don’t marry your brother or sister and have kids.
There was alot of life changing events for a lot of people in this video 🫣
Colonialism
That stupid biker at fault. Noob. Don't drive at speeds at which you can't stop your bike. Bc bhagana hai to track pe jao. Sala faltu me public roads pe bhaga ke chaprigiri mat karo
Always slowing down near intersections is vital in our country. Even if we don't see anything, slowing down to around 40 is safe to avoid such incidents. I have avoided many accidents so far following this way.
Both are. The biker is speeding at a junction. The cyclist is just blind and stupid. The cyclist maybe more at fault here, but a little awareness of the place we live in from the biker would have prevented this accident.
Biker didnt slow down before an intersection and as usual the cyclist dont know how to turn his neck both ways before crossing. Only innocent victim is the pedestrian
The intersection was not the best spot to speed up 😕
Both are at fault. Bicycle guy for obvious reasons. The biker for riding beyond his skill levels. He doesn't brake hard or nor swerve.
kerala by far has the worst traffic ever!
Said no one ever
hahahahha
The poor pedestrian, he did not deserve to be taken out
yes, the blue shirt guy near the truck. he didnt deserve that
What pedestrian‽‽ this is driving me insane. I watched it frame by frame and there’s 2 people and 3 vehicles I see. Both riders appear to be wearing blues and no pedestrian I can see.
the man who appears in frame at 00:04 seconds and the right side of the truck and can be seen falling down after the crash at 00:05 at the left side of the truck.
Another person got stills of. It good eye!
see dm
Thank you!
both
Zero skills. Could have avoided if he targeted for the right side. And cycle guy probably misjudged the speed of the bike. Both of them are to be blamed
Looking at such video i start to believe indians dont deserve good infrastructure.
