He at the very least survived the initial impact. He was taken to the hospital and his condition is unknown. The driver of the speeding car died. The driver of the truck that was hit is fine
I got tboned by an f350 super duty on my bike pretty much just like that. A blink of an eye and I was on the ground with bones sticking out of my body. Spent 10 months bed ridden and had 7 surgeries and 2 flight for lives because of how severe it was. Not sure how I survived, but these accidents really do give you NO time to react.
I was like "Wow that semi was going very fast, maybe his gas pedal really was stuck", waited to hear a crash in the distance then got a hell of a surprise
I've been on reddit for years and years and only recently discovered this sub, when I sorted by top of all time—as is custom when finding a new sub—it was like a reawakening. I've never been so enthused and immersed by sorting by top of all time on a sub.
This video captures why I will never ride a motorcycle. Your life can change or end in an instant even if you wear all the right equipment and never make a mistake. At least in a car you have a crumple zone, air bag etc to increase your odds of survival.
I never understood motorbike riding. I never understood a logic where the level of damage and death it can cause is worth the tradeoff of the good experience. It's so fucked. Like, I LOVE the idea of it, but the downsides... idk, I feel like you're either pretending there isn't such a visceral cost to the activity, or know about it and are just keeping yourself deliberately in the dark.
He definitely ate a ladder. But, rough guess here, it looks like the bumper of the truck was swinging clockwise as it approaches the biker, so i think at best he took a ladder to the helmet/chest. At worst the truck's bumper clips his bike's front wheel in which case he probably got twisted off his bike as well as taking a ladder to the chest.
Today, a sinkhole opened up underneath the house of a redditor swallowing him and his house whole. He previously stated he was never leaving his house so he could feel safe.
I mean, does anyone really think we have control over traffic accidents like this? Getting on the road every day you risk this no matter how you drive.
Same bro. I got in 2 close calls. One was a 80 year old lady with bad vision in one eye, she simply didn't see me and side swiped me in a parking lot while turning, and that side of her car was all banged up from other stuff. Next some cabby rear ended me at slow speed at a stop sign. He didn't see me, he was on his phone. He hit me hard enough that I barely held on from going over the bars, I was basically sitting on the handlebars. Sold mine when my wife got pregnant. I want to see my kids grow up.
Commuted every workday for 16 miles for 2 years in Los Angeles. Seen 2 dozen motorcycle crashes and at least 2 mangled bodies. Death wish to ride a motorcycle in LA.
Not that riding isn’t dangerous, but in a situation like this a pedestrian waiting to cross or crossing the street could have easily been in this accident instead of the biker.
This happened exactly on Kanan Dume and PCH. The vehicle that collided with the pickup was stolen and it caugh fire after rolling on top, killing its driver. The driver of the pickup and the motorcyclist were rushed in a hospital.
And this is why I refuse to ever buy/ride a motorcycle. I would love to, but even if you are a perfect rider, you can't control what others do. And there are no seatbelts, there are no airbags, you take the full brunt of an accident.
Usually when I watch these videos I think of what I would have done or what that person could have done, which I know is unrealistic and purely theoretical and doesn’t account for anything at all, but I do it anyway for fun. THIS video? No fucking way they could have avoided that. Absolutely tragic. I wonder if the filmer is ok…
Yeah, only thing I'd have done differently is not be so close to the intersection - cause shit like this happens at those! Given speeds & forces here though, that wouldn't have helped (& with such rapidly changing angles + luck, very well could have meant a worse different position / part of the truck ending up in my face). I'll continue to keep my distance from the very closest spot at intersections hoping that I'm statistically, at least a tad, more likely to survive.
Everyone on here saying this is why they won't take up motorcycles, but if it were a pedestrian crossing the sidewalk and getting hit would you then say you wouldn't take up going outside? Lol people on here are seriously dramatic.
Could be a reach but that looks like suicide. No attempt to brake or turn or even honking, they were heading straight to that wall. The grey pickup probably saved their life.
Actually according to an article a Redditor linked. He was the only one who died. His car went up in flames. He also apparently stole the car so likely suicide or he was drunk/high.
This is Kanan and Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu. The car comes speeding off a stretch of Kanan that is all downhill for several hundred yards, but if he was experiencing some mechanical failure there is a runaway truck lane (deep gravel with huge water cans at the end — you can see the yellow cans to the left) to prevent this kind of accident. If he hadn’t hit the truck he was about to collide at high speed with a dirt/rock embankment and vaporize. Terrible to see.
This happened near where I live- in Malibu, CA. Long grade down in direction of where the speeding car was coming from. But I also read tvat driver just got out of rehab and stole that car.
So when it's a Tesla its "THE CAR BECAME SENTIENT AND BECAME A MURDER MACHINE, THE DRIVER SAID THE BRAKES DIDNT WORK SO IT MUST BE TRUE!!!" But when it's any other car it's "did the gas pedal get stuck?"
Almost certainly pedal confusion. The vast majority of cases where 'the brakes don't work' or 'the throttle was stuck' are cases where the driver was mashing the throttle while thinking they were mashing the brakes.
Dear god a peaceful morning and then bam nothing you can do . How do you even process this mentally. I would not be able to leave my house having survived something like this
That looks like the intersection of Kanan and pch in Malibu. The road the guy came flying through is actually a huge hill where you drop like 1 thousand feet over course of a few miles. There is actually a runaway vehicle gravel pit there, you can see the yellow water barrels that are at the end of pit.
I know exactly there that's at in Malibu — our biker is sitting on Pacific Coast Highway, facing South, right at the intersection of Malibu Canyon Road (to his left). For about a mile, MCR is on a downslope so you can really pick up a bunch of speed before you hit that intersection. On the right, you can see a small wall or cliff. I suspect the driver was wanting to crash into that "wall" to kill himself. It's happened before.
I have an irrational fear of stuff like this after getting rear-ended sitting at a stoplight in 2008. Saw a car coming in hot in my rearview mirror and see a guy looking down at his phone going about 40 mph and a big old Cadillac sedan. That split second where you see it coming but don't have time to react in any way to protect yourself haunts me. I laid on the horn and turned the wheel but didn't even have enough time to let out the clutch to start moving before he smashed into me. I'm that guy who looks around first before going at a green light when I'm first in line. Chances are Getting in a car is by far the single most dangerous thing you'll ever do in your life.
You know what they say about riding a motorcycle, you are never truly safe until your motorcycle is parked and the engine is off and you are away from your motorcycle. But damn this is taking it to the extreme.
Exactly why I’ll never ride a motorcycle. That biker was doing nothing wrong in the slightest, but he’s in the middle of the road without a big ole protective metal case filled with airbags.
This is why I hate motorcycles. 90% of the time I see somebody who rides one they're reckless assholes. 10% of the time I see them in scary situations or just straight up getting shit on by their bad luck like this.
I can see the biker's arms tense up the moment collision happens. Every person has all these memories, experiences, goals, plans...all that ending in a second. Almost seems unfair.
That's why I won't ever be on a motorcycle. It has nothing to do with your skill as a rider or how cautious you are. At the red lights you're just a dude standing in the middle of active traffic where anything can crash and smash you and the gasoline bucket stuck between your legs. Nope.
Videos like this are why I'll never own a motorcycle. I watch these videos from a car perspective, and maybe 60% of the time I know I could have reacted differently.
Welcome to
Dude, the biker just... You know... It was a blink, that's the craziest part, someone somehow know if he is ok by any miracle?
Someone posted an article but all it says was the biker was taken to the hospital in an unknown condition.
He at the very least survived the initial impact. He was taken to the hospital and his condition is unknown. The driver of the speeding car died. The driver of the truck that was hit is fine

Lol, some of this shit I’ve seen on here has desensitized me for sure
I think this is the first jump scare I ever had on reddit.
So what happened 3 years ago?
Fucking dropped my phone from it.
Same, my ass done some airtime. Fucking woke me up that did.
FUCKYOUINPARTICULAR
Flinched at the crash but didn't even have the time to process what was happening next. Can't imagine how painful that must have been.
You can see the biker flinch; grabbing his handles very tight just before impact.
The biker lived according to this
enhanced reality frame:

thats got a dead vibe to me
I flinched and paused it
This is what this sub is all about, truly a crazy fucking video!
Some final destination shit
100%. This is probably the first video in a long while that made me audibly gasp and utter "Jesus Fucking Christ".
Doesnt it look like a modern warfare cutscene

How do you even react to that?
Did he survive?
YES! -

Holy shit, dude had zero time to react, that’s nightmare fuel. Dude is probably eating pudding through a straw for a bit, if he’s lucky.
He ate that ladder

If he was wearing a full face helmet, he will be eating just fine, that is, if his organs are still working.
Hopefully atkeast had his helmet on

The black SUV that T boned the other car was flying wow
Flying to fucking where though, there's a hill there! Think it might have been suicide.

And just like that, your life can be over.

SpongeBob was right
When my sister was in high school her friend lost control of his car and drove into someones house. If its your time to go, you can't avoid it
What a bad lottery
The illusion of control
As an experienced rider, that's a very vulnerable position (not feeling in control) imo
Perfectly described damn.
I mean, does anyone really think we have control over traffic accidents like this? Getting on the road every day you risk this no matter how you drive.

Sounds like the guy was probably drunk or high and ready to call it quits. What a fucking piece of shit.
Only death is the shitbag. What a nice change of pace.
Thanks for posting a source, any chance of a transcript for non US people?
I knew I recognized that intersection, it is a big hill into this intersection and they have like run-off section for semis, because of the steepness.
Imagine that’s the last thing you see… did the motorcyclists die?

It’s why I never started.. it was never fear of my own skills but of the unknown on the road. I’ll take my chances in a steel cage with airbags.

Oh look another ladder in the road. People really need to tie those down better.
That’s why I have guns in the house. In case some maniac try’s to come in my house with a ladder
Looks like where Kanan Dume Rd meets PCH. Car could have lost brakes after coming down the canyon. Or hit accelerator instead of brakes.
I think you're right. Sad part for those who don't know the area?
Intersection is right, couple people posted links to news stories. It was a stolen vehicle, motorcyclist taken to the hospital in unknown condition.
Here's a tweet/video of the aftermath.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding but this definitely isn't a Tesla
Thanks for posting this info.
When I read the caption I expected a car to fly by the biker at high speed.
It’s crazy how drastically your life can change in the matter of seconds

HOLY SHIT
All we are, is Dust in the wind.
jesus i have adrenaline just sitting here watching that, can't even imagine what that guy felt
Holy fuck! I had to sit down and calm my nerves after watching that one.
even after he t-boned that car he went into the hill at almost the same speed. The fact that noone else died is pretty lucky.
Ok. I'm gonna cast this onto my TV when the kids get outta school.
I thought it was talking about that white truck in the beginning of the video
as someone who rides I was really expecting the rear end here, was not expecting that.
If this was in
That right there is a suicide attempt.
I know this intersection pretty well, it's in Malibu, CA.
This is Kanan and Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu.

This is exactly why I refuse to ride a motorcycle. I will instead live vicariously through YouTubers.
This is on par with those Final Destination movies.
This is what happens when you have a destiny, but you just stand still. The ladder of success smacks you in the face
This happened near where I live- in Malibu, CA. Long grade down in direction of where the speeding car was coming from. But I also read tvat driver just got out of rehab and stole that car.

I didn't expect a jumpscare holy!
Phukin life comes right at you. Glad this dude had a helmet on.
If the dude didn’t hit the truck he definitely would’ve unlocked a grand theft auto stunt off that hill
This Final destination 7 teaser is crazy
Any update on the motorcyclist?
Maybe.... but that prolly was a suicide attempt to be completly honest.
How on earth did he survive that?
Almost certainly pedal confusion. The vast majority of cases where 'the brakes don't work' or 'the throttle was stuck' are cases where the driver was mashing the throttle while thinking they were mashing the brakes.
That's why you don't drive something where you are the crumple zone
I'll take the protection of being in a metal box when I travel thank you.
Bro got clothes lined by a ladder
That RIGHT THERE is why I've never gotten a motorcycle license. With all the idiots in my area driving your just asking to get killed
Dear god a peaceful morning and then bam nothing you can do . How do you even process this mentally. I would not be able to leave my house having survived something like this
Man that happened quickly. Left no reaction time for the rider, did he survive?
Never saw that one coming.
I jumped & then this damn app had desensitized me from a lot but not this. Holy fuck!
Zero chance to react
This belongs in the dashcam hall of fame
"I don't need a seatbelt because I'm a safe driver".
This happened recently, in Malibu, California at the bottom of Kanan Rd.
And this is how fast It can be a game over
That looks like the intersection of Kanan and pch in Malibu. The road the guy came flying through is actually a huge hill where you drop like 1 thousand feet over course of a few miles. There is actually a runaway vehicle gravel pit there, you can see the yellow water barrels that are at the end of pit.
It’s wild to me how they wait until another vehicle totals their car vs a wall to grind stop, or a tree. They’re like nah, let’s kill someone instead

So I was just standing there minding my own business and wham!
Holy fucking shit!
Ladder 🪜
LADDER TO THE FACE!!!
Wow that's a bad day for many people
Poor Dude got a ladder to Heaven.
This is why no matter how good you can ride, it’s always more dangerous to go around on two wheels.
nightmarefuel
The way I audibly GASPED. Man I feel so bad for the motorcyclelist. I hope they survived and have full recovery.
“get pedal get stuck”
There is no amount of “head on a swivel” that can prepare you for that. Nothing he could have done. I hope he made it through and is still riding.

Senka, ya dead man?
I was enjoying the soothing feel traffic passing by, and a beautiful weather....then it came
Holy fuck... this made me react physically
I’m glad biker is alive. I used to ride motorcycles. This is perfect example of why I stopped.
I hope he had a full helmet….
redditspeedbot
Gas peddles rarely get stuck, that is a huge myth. Most of the instances of "unintended acceleration" is driver confusion in an unfamiliar vehicle.
This is why I hate motorcycles. 90% of the time I see somebody who rides one they're reckless assholes. 10% of the time I see them in scary situations or just straight up getting shit on by their bad luck like this.
DAYUM
If you ask me if he lived or died I would say the ladder
I can see the biker's arms tense up the moment collision happens. Every person has all these memories, experiences, goals, plans...all that ending in a second. Almost seems unfair.
