I agree with pyro. Sounded like it clipped him. Wtf was he doing??

Can't see anything to explain it, dead straight road, brilliant conditions.

Only thing I can think of, maybe the car went for an aggressive overtake on the lorry and miscalculated the cars in front of the bike and swerved in and lost it?

That's the thought I had. Can't see properly though. Kind of looked like he was aiming for the bike.

Lots of idiots in cars texting on their phones in the U.S., or doing other things besides actually paying attention to driving.

This is what it looks like to me. Lost control swerving in from overtake and overcompensated.

Just realised when re watching that he had a pillion on too! Seriously lucky!

If you look close at the car and ignore the bike, the driver has lost the back end from the overtake (god knows how on a straight road) and the car is in a slide when he clips the bike.
