A video that has appeared on social networks in which it looks like a motorist overtakes a truck on the shouldercausing hit a cyclisthas made social networks burn, since the motorist’s maneuver is unjustifiable.
In the footage you can see how a group of motorists go along the road that connects Bogota and La Vega, in Colombia. They first overtake a truck that is going in the left lane, only to find another truck in the right lane a few seconds later.
All the motorcyclists overtake the truck on the left, but one of them decides to do it on the shoulder and suddenly finds a cyclist, who cannot avoid running over considering speed and short distance to which they were.
The crash is so strong that the rider loses control of the motorcycle and falls to the ground, causing the motorcycle collided with another belonging to one of his companionsand this one also goes to the ground.
After the tragic sequence, everyone stops the march to try to help all those affected by the recklessness of the motorist. Fortunately, there were no deaths.
“The behavior of that motorcyclist is that of a killer killer behind the wheel. This is how they cause the majority of road accidents and fatalities. They are in turn perpetrators and victims of the same. Applying the sanctions and giving them the incentives to change their behavior is essential, “he said in networks Claudia López, Mayor of Bogotá.
To make it clearer to all of us, basically this motorcyclist in a deliberate decision did the equivalent of throwing this cyclist off a balcony. Driving a vehicle or motorcycle at high speeds and/or performing dangerous maneuvers is a decision that entails consequences. pic.twitter.com/3vWiL3R8Xj
