That one's been shown here before. Ugly, though.....

The best part of that video?

Watch how long it takes for the person in the car immediately behind the car involved in the accident to leave the scene. They may have just been a witness to a manslaughter...

I have to say, the bike was flyin'! The car obviously failed to yield, but they may have misjudged the clearance. The bike was pretty far away when they made the "go" decision.

OTOH, don't know the speed limit there, may have actually been an open-road 55 zone. Don't think so, though.

Sickening. Not one I want to see to be honest. What makes it worse is that we don't find out what happened to the biker.

It's surprising to me what can happen to vehicles at relatively low speeds. I once saw a car t-bone left-turner, then careen up onto a median, hit a light pole and roll over on its roof. The roll-over was most surprising because the straight line car couldn't have been going more than 35-40 mph (the posted speed limit) when all this started, but the sequence of events was sufficiently forceful to land it upside down.
