Out of Control Truck Hits and Kills Biker at Tollbooth
Honduras, An out of control truck tried not to hit a bunch of vehicles waiting in line at a tollbooth but it did hit a biker that died on the spot before the truck crashes next to the road.

Re: Out of Control Truck Hits and Kills Biker at Tollbooth
driver also had to avoid the 2 poles. hitting a pole would have catapulted the truck towards the toll booth Award: Distinguished Flying Cross. |

Re: Out of Control Truck Hits and Kills Biker at Tollbooth
He knew his brakes were out.. He had to make a conscious choice...  plan a. does he continue at the toll booth on the far right lane and ram everyone waiting on the toll line killing many more people plan b. He takes the extreme right shoulder, hopefully his momentum will be slowed by the foliage and the single biker and a few cars.. A few people versus a whole bunch of people.. Could have been way worse  |

Hope he didn't get into that truck and drive it, knowing his brakes were bad.... |

Re: Out of Control Truck Hits and Kills Biker at Tollbooth
i'd bet that self-preservation would guide most people's choice: i'd much rather blast a motorcyclist out of the way than rear end a line of parked semi trailers.

Re: Out of Control Truck Hits and Kills Biker at Tollbooth
When I am stopping, my attention is in my rear-view mirror EVERY TIME, once I know my forward motion is under control. If the biker had been looking in his rear-view mirror, he could have cut in to the large space between the trucks, and the crashing truck would have missed him. You have to have a sense of self-preservation when riding.

Re: Out of Control Truck Hits and Kills Biker at Tollbooth
What if the truck wasn’t out of control? Maybe the truck driver just wanted to run something over.
