The car causing the crash was at a Right Turn only island and went straight across the intersection when the oncoming motorcycle hit the car. Recorded with Dahua PTZ SD5023XA-HNR
The right turn only was installed to prevent these crossing accidents.In case your location privacy is important to you, the title of the video gives it away.
Using Google maps helped me understand the nature of that accident. It's a two lane 35 MPH road and the intersection has the cross traffic forced to take a right turn, presumably into the first of the two lanes.
Looked like the biker was going at least 55, but hard for me to tell. Perhaps speed could be determined based on estimation of distance covered between frames of the video. Wicked wreck as the bike stopped instantly, and the biker took a while to appear. I'm guessing he flew into and up over the car quite violently.
Great video, thanks for sharing.The right turn only was installed to prevent these crossing accidents.

Yeah, me too. It pisses me off that the state allows people to be lazy and undisciplined. It shows in so many other ways. I can't even hope for the "keep right except to pass" to be taken seriously here. I've seen people get on the freeway doing 10 under the limit and immediately head to the left lane.Interesting, I figured turning into the first lane was universal. My friend Tom made a right into the 2nd lane once and was annoyed he almost hit a guy turning left into the same lane, and I had to explain he had a requirement to turn into the 1st lane.
We have a law here, don't hang out in the left lane. Automatic $450.00 plus court costs ticket. We are not a nanny state.Yeah, me too.

The car was at a right turn only intersection and tried to go straight across the intersection which is illegal. The police received the video and I believe the driver was cited.So did they cite the car driver or call it an accident?
