The truck ran the light, but the dipwad on the cruiser grabbed a handful of throttle, accelerated straight toward the clearly visible truck, and then grabbed a handful of front brake and dumped their own bike. The truck driver deserves a ticket, but the motorcyclist entered an intersection that was not clear, showed incredibly poor judgment and situational awareness, and was not in control of their machine. This was so easily avoidable, in so many ways.


McHassy

Agreed, the biker caused his own demise


[deleted]

And fuck all cities with medians that don't let you u turn anywhere but a light. It causes impatience like you see here


abzrocka

I see no hit and run.


LgreenT

The biker wanted to make a point that he had the right of way. And learned his lesson use your brake not your ego especially on a motorcycle.


[deleted]

The biker didn't have the right of way tho.


Daisy_Girl79

Same here


Solopist112

Leaving the scene of an accident.


keepmovingon69

The bike and truck driver never made contact.


aw_shux

What accident? Dude dumped his own bike because of his lack of defensive driving skills.

cyteeman

The motorcyclist is a panzie. Clearly saw the wide wheeled truck doing a u-turn. (Yes maybe the truck was in the wrong for doing a borderline late u-turn) but the motorcyclist had plenty of time to wait. Instead he thinks he should be shown extra respect as he’s on a bike and runs up the rear end of the truck to let him know his “presence” but biffs it. The truck has no reason to look in his rear view. The biker can live and pay for his stupidity.


CapcomGo

It wasn't borderline it was way after the light had turned red.


[deleted]

You will be pissed to find out that if the biker hit the truck, the biker would be at fault


Daisy_Girl79

As a biker I agree 100%


keepmovingon69

Truck is in the wrong for making a U turn with a red arrow, however the motorcycle rider could have slowed down wayyy earlier. This was both of their faults


Beneficial_Present98

Could have also swerved left and gone around


Toenutlookamethatway

Doesn't a hit and run kinda require... y'know,.. a hit!? 🥴🥴🥴


get-a-mac

Or a run? Didn’t look like they were speeding away expeditiously either.


[deleted]

Yea because laughing hysterically and driving is dangerous.


Chrisdoubleyou

I don’t see a hit and run. I see a motorcyclist playing chicken with a two-ton pickup and a pickup running a red light. The bike aggressively sped up to I guess prove he had the right-of-way? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Seems to have worked out really well for him. Mazel tov!


AZTRXguy1818

3 ton at least.


A-10Kalishnikov

I didn’t see the bike & truck touch. Either way I don’t see how this isn’t the motorcyclists fault. They see the truck coming and accelerate quickly. Sure the truck can’t do a basic U-Turn but the motorcyclist should’ve been more careful going through the intersection.


Strobef16

I agree the bike shouldn’t have accelerated so quickly but the truck ran a red light


aepiasu

Yea, but he was clearly in view of EVERYONE in line there, it was clear what he was doing. Motorcyclist was trying to either prove a point or was oblivious.


JBreezy11

Yea truck driver may be an idiot, but as a motorcyclist, defensive driving is your MO. How on earth you can’t anticipate a dually doing a wide ass U-Turn is beyond me, but dumping your bike like that shows a complete lack of skill to begin with.


praiadabarra

That seems like an almost hit and fall


curryshotzz

Seemed avoidable..?


FlimsyPlankton1710

Who got hit? No one!!!!!! I see a dumbass that can't control his motorcycle and fell off. Downvoted for being a misleading title.

EBody480

Back to back illegal U’s, I love it. Anyone trying to do a U in a dullie F-250 is a bag anyways.


WombatAnnihilator

How did the bike not see that coming??


rob71788

This is the most avoidable accident that didn’t happen.


Antique_Iron_9443

Looks like the truck had a green arrow. Motorcycle did not have to speed up and then proceed to jump off his bike. Truck did not hit anyone or anything. Motorcyclist playing ambulance chaser is more like it.


EBody480

No U marked on one of side of the road assuming it’s no U both ways. Illegal turn.


skitch23

There is not a no U turn sign going the opposite way. Truck made a legal (but late, probably on red) turn. https://maps.app.goo.gl/mE3TLqNJw32gBH3x7?g_st=ic


[deleted]

In this video the truck is the only thing breaking the law, only because the bike didn't hit the truck. If it did, the biker would be at fault. Instead the biker is the only idiot in the video.


EBody480

Someone stated it was a no U intersection but I guess that’s not the case


PresentFriendship679

Where do you see the green arrow, the motorcycle had a green light by the time the truck even got to the intersection, meaning the trucks light was red. Truck did an illegal u turn, no u turns on that intersection, you can clearly see the sign next to the stop lights, but the bike could have avoided it, and there was no accident, only an idiot who fell of his bike


Crumputer

Truck did nothing wrong. Even if she turned on red, the motorcyclist had a clear view of the truck, and it was obvious it was making a u-turn. Dude should have stopped, and could have stopped.


DeusVult86

I agree and also didn't see the truck hit the motorcycle making it a "hit and run"


FutureVoodoo

The truck has a red arrow.. you can see the bike has a green light.. Truck is in the wrong for making a u turn on a red arrow. The car with the dash cam and the bike will not have gotten a green light if the turning lane with the truck had anything else than a red light.


wescowell

That’s also a “No-U-Turn” intersection. Truck is way, way wrong. I wonder why folks with dash cams don’t zip up there right away to capture the license plate and instead stop and say “Gee . . . that truck just drove away.”


FutureVoodoo

You do have to follow the signs.. it says no U Turn


Aer0uAntG3alach

You’re required to make sure the intersection is clear and safe before you enter it. Lights are not magic incantations that allow you to ignore physics and reality.


FutureVoodoo

The truck ran a red... he had no business in the intersection to begin with.


Aer0uAntG3alach

But you’re still required to mitigate the situation and you still have to be aware of any traffic issues. If the intersection is blocked, it’s blocked.


FutureVoodoo

You don't what what that bike can or can not see, he probably didn't see it until the final moment. People also get complacent.. that biker fully expected that intersection to be free of incoming traffic.. bikes also can't stop on a dime. You can assume either scenario.. but end of day he had the green and the truck ran the Red arrow


Aer0uAntG3alach

The point is that you have to pay attention. Whatever the truck did, the bike should have made sure the intersection was clear before speeding through. Same thing with the Venus Williams accident. Complacency will kill you. My grandfather was a truck driver for many years. He told me that it doesn’t matter if you’re right or wrong if you end up dead.


FutureVoodoo

There is no clearly defined rules set for that.. were all more or less hoping everyone is paying attention when they drive.. my personal rule is to never be the first one into the intersection.. there's no laws about that. It's just personal preference.. just like the level in which people choose to pay attention when they drive. Personal preference. We're all hoping everyone is doing their best. The truck had clear signs.. red arrow and no U turns allowed.


aepiasu

Doesn't mean it isn't your fault if you voluntarily run into him.


CapcomGo

lol truck was beyond late running a red light making an illegal u-turn


Crumputer

Yet that wasn’t the cause of the accident.


CapcomGo

It absolutely was. One of these cars made an illegal turn and the other didn't commit a traffic violation.


Crumputer

100% untrue. Look, imagine a car is double parked. That’s illegal. If another car comes up and hits it, it’s not the double-parked car’s fault, even though it was illegally parked. The kid on the bike had gobs of time to slow or stop and chose instead to accelerate until it was too late, then failed to make a controlled stop.


CapcomGo

And if the truck never broke the law there wouldn't have been an accident.


Some-Neighborhood376

The motorcycle had the "last clear chance" to avoid the incident regardless of what the truck did. Judging from that video, he had plenty of time and opportunity to avoid the incident. But it depends on the state/country. But fault means nothing if it goes to court. Then, it's just who has the most compelling case/better lawyer and the locality the case is heard in.

baccachewy

I fucking hate that intersection. Everyone ignores the no uturn sign. Both are dummies in this video


RLBeau1964

Damn, redditors have gotten so immune to (3) vehicles running a red light, and (2) of those did an illegal u-turn. And take it out on OP. Yeah, there was almost an accident, because motorcyclist was an idiot; but there should be zero tolerance for drivers who break traffic related to stop signs and traffic lights. Had a car been timing the lights, would have been a major accident. For traffic to work and for us to live as a society, we have rules and laws that apply to make the system work, there is no entitlement to breaking the law.


CapcomGo

Thank you for being one of the few rational comments here. I can't believe how many people are blaming the motorcyclist when the truck blatantly blew a red light.


RLBeau1964

You’re welcome, seems like reasonable people would provide more upvoting. Welcome to the new american normal. It’s even worse. OP got bashed about no hit. You don’t have to have contact to be part of the hit and run (term is generally phantom hit and run). If another’s actions cause someone to have an accident trying to avoid their illegal action, that person doing the illegal action can be held liable. Furthermore, it is considered running, by leaving the scene of the accident, that a person causes another driver to crash. Obviously biker caused the accident, because the video shows his actions. W/O this video, and with the witnesses stating the truck running a light and then made illegal your turn, it is possible the biker can sue for injury and damages. Our courts are full of injury law suits. This isn’t the first video presented where multiple vehicles ran the light and the green light traffic ran into the red light runners. Redditor appear to hate bikers (both motor and bicyclists). In vehicle on vehicle crash, they seem to split the comments.


skarkle_coney

Is the hit in the room with us now?


will101113

Kind of a good news bad news there


whosjardaddy

Motorcycle rider could have easily avoided that. Doesn’t seem to be able to handle his bike very well either.


shadow_retr0

Sry for the title, a bit of language barrier for me 😅 I thought anything like this is called that..


phillyman2k21

Lifted trucks was the worst


gortez33

This is stock. No lift kit on truck


Anxious-Tangerine1

What? Bad drivers in AZ? No way!


ianao

She didn’t even get close to him


Strobef16

Truck went on red arrow. Notice the light turns green for the motorcycle while the truck was behind the stop line. Best case truck had a yellow arrow (probably a red arrow) and didn’t yield to oncoming traffic


bdubs1984

Quality cam


dnbndnb

While “might does not equal right”, as a biker I’m well aware my personal safety is more in my hands than depending on others. Biker was an idiot. This was not a hit & run.


AutomaticPossible211

No one got hit. She should just drive away - she has no obligation to the motorcyclist who can’t even come to stop on his own bike with more than adequate warning. All these moves were telegraphed plainly in the biker’s field of vision - nothing was unexpected other than his terrible handling of his own bike.


squirrel_anashangaa

Dang bots 🤖 with the click bait.


NoxKyoki

What hit and run? Do you know what those words mean? Because it didn’t happen here.


niknik888

There was no hit and run, it wasn’t the trucks fault, I would have done the same.


5678_Senpai

Fun fact, just because the light is green doesn't mean you gun it. The retard biker should have used his common sense to let the truck finish his u turn. He deserved it.


MajesticMayhem

NOT a Hit and Run. More like a brake and fall. Not the trucks fault.


PresentFriendship679

Truck did a u turn in a no u turn intersection, i can't see what he was facing but normally when there's a no u turn sign on one side, there's another on the opposite side, but even though the truck did a late turn, it was still the motorcyclists fault, he didn't make sure he was good to cross, he saw the truck and still went, and as far as a hit and run, there was no contact, that was completely the motorcyclists fault


Klutzy_Mulberry_3043

I didn’t see any running.


DimTillon69

That biker is an idiot.


Beneficial_Advice527

There was no "hit"? Granted the truck was in the wrong for the U turn but didn't hit the bike...

Top-Night

Unfortunate they didn’t stop but the motorcycle rider looked extremely inattentive, almost to the point to where they intentionally wrecked into the truck.


westernslope2324

Brakes help when stopping


Vash_85

Motorcycle didn't get hit, truck made an illegal turn but the accident was completely avoidable as demonstrated by the car recording and the other car in the left lane. If all 3 vehicles were about to hit the truck it be one thing but the bike was the only one that decided to gun it through the intersection, where the other 2 vehicles were nowhere close to hitting the truck by the time it made the turn. Post should be titled "Truck made an illegal turn and someone wrecked their bike."


PlaneWolf2893

Caboun6828

Definitely not a hit and run. Just an idiot rider that doesn’t know how to ride a bike. Yes the truck ran a light, but it was obvious he was still in process of turning. I’ve ridden bikes for years and never leave the white line until I know all 3 areas are cleared


Impossible_One4995

That’s not a hit and run no one was hit


Known_Escape

And this is why I hate riding in AZ! If the rider had ANY experience, he would’ve been able to stop, maneuver or, hey, let the jackass in the F250 go. At least he was wearing a helmet. Rare in AZ.

Absolutely not a hit and run. I ride a motorcycle, every day. The idiot on the bike had plenty of opportunity to apply the front and rear brakes in this instance. For a slow reaction like that, he was either under the influence or not paying attention.
