accident on floodway bridge

on our way to work today, we witnessed an accident involving a motorcycle rider and a car. if you can see on the first picture below, the rider flew about 5 meters away from his motorcycle. we saw no blood, but think the man is hurty pretty badly. he was conscious but can't move. i saw his legs and feet shaking, i assume from pain.

the motorcyle has the right of way, and the white toyota (UPN311) made a counter flow and hit the motocyle. the lady on black printed blouse (her face partly covered by the man on the motorcyle in blue jacket) was the owner/driver of the car.

according to jason, it happened so fast. he just saw the man flying in the air. look at the expression of the woman on the sidewalk, her face ashened. while the other guy is taking pictures thru his camera phone.





this is the motorcyle, notice the wheels/tire? some of the rider's belongings scattered on the pavement. his shoe almost beneath THE car. wonder where the other pair of his shoe went off ...

didn't know what happened next. we had to rush cause i am already late on my 730am meeting. hope the guy is okay. a lot of other motocycle-riding guys were all over him (and the car owner), some even went ahead to inform the police/traffic officers positioned at the end of the bridge.

there must have been a secret association between riders. i always notice their camaraderie everytime something happens to one of them on the road. they tend to gang up on the offender and help their fellow rider.
