Accident, motorcycle, fatal
Last year in front of my wife’s office, an suv pulled out of a park and turned left onto a major highway. A motorcycle on the highway hit the side of the suv and flipped it over. They estimated the motorcycle’s speed a bit over 180 mph. I’m curious how fast those bikes in the video were going.

What's the piece that flipped over the car - the back end of the motorcycle?

I’m honestly shocked that he didn’t get ripped to shreds going from that high of a speed to a stop. I guess his leathers held him together.

When I heard that noise at the 1st part I assumed it was somewhere in the Middle East and it was a rocket attack warning.

Wow! When you don't want your organs donated!

Working brake lights or not, the car wasn’t at fault. The car was the victim here.

Wonder why he ended up in the Turn lane and didn't stay in one of the two empty straight lanes with the green light.

Gray car either didn't have tail lights or as some reports said they were tinted and not visible, doesn't matter the guy was in the turn lane and the biker was in the wrong lane.

He choose poorly, paid the ultimate price, amazing his body stayed on top of the car, bike didn't fly off because it's inside the car, crazy stuff those Russians....

We also can not see the terrain where the bikes came from. There could have been a hill or curve that prevented the riders from having a good look at the intersection until it was too late to do anything about it.

In the case I spoke of a few posts above, there is a hill about 200 yards from where the impact happened. 180 mph is 88 yards/sec. Not a lot of time to react.

It's Russia. Perhaps he was drafted to go to the Ukraine front, and said "Hey Putin, hold my vodka"

Fucking asshole got his just desserts. I despise the riders who are on public streets and highways, who think they're on a race track, with zero regard for others who are obeying the laws.



I'm hoping there were no kids or anybody in the back seat.

One can see the video clip here. https://lnrnews.ru/society/2026/03/23/733387.html

The inertia that rear wheel being driven at that speed is tremendous when it met Sir Isaac Newton's equal and opposite cousin "Dead Stop".

Swingarm frame at end of travel said. "Now youse CAN leave!"
