So I was looking through old news articles and found his crash video
Good thing he was wearing jeans and a tee shirt.....
He "walked away" from that?

Maybe he slid the 75-100' on his helmet...At least the kid getting off the bus wasn't hit.

The bike flew away from that.
Too much kinetic energy is sometimes problematic.

Wow, less than three seconds according to the time stamp on the bus. Car started moving between :04-:05 seconds, and impact was at :07. (at least that's what I can tell from my not so finite controls on the YouTube app)

Even though he walked away, I wonder how bad the road rash was?

I want to know what the car was doing.

I am talking about the fact it did not turn left or right it pulled in front of the buss

alex.s · July 25th, 2013, 02:03 PM

yep. people do stupid ****. really stupid ****. for no reason what so ever.

Bike was to blame. Bus was stopped offloading kids, that means that it had the stop sign out, and the bike as not stopping for it anyway. Seemed to be speeding, though we don't know what the speed limit actually was.

Speeding and failing to stop for a school bus, I say good stop by the car. Hope that guy lost enough skin to remember the lesson.

I agree that the rider was a retard and at fault, but it appears to be a metro bus, not a school bus; so they don't have to stop for it. The rider looks like he's going 60mph or so, and it appears that's a 35mph road.

It's a Star Metro Bus, so not a school bus.

Interesting bit on the kid in the source article:

"But there's another story here -- one that doesn't show up in the video. It's that of the young passenger trying to retrieve his bike who is nearly struck by O'Leary's motorcycle after the initial impact. The report says that the driver was "disputing a bus fare with the bicycle owner." The video before the crash shows the young passenger putting his bike on the front of the bus, getting on the bus, swiping his card, only to be recalled by the driver. He swipes again, and apparently the card does not work. The passenger and driver exchange words, before the young passenger departs the bus and makes his way around the front to retrieve his bike. If he was out in front just a second or two earlier, he easily could have been struck by the motorcycle."

My bad, I wasn't paying attention to much but the crash itself, and just assumed school bus.

Still looked to be speeding.

You may want to look closer time the speed of the white car you first see now time the bike not far apart on speed.

At .18 you can see his helmet spinning around on the road... At least that's what it looks like to me....
