Not sure if Burners thread led to a video link of the incident? I actually saw the accident on Spanish news yesterday.The whole thing happened at night.The road appeared to be very poorly lit despite being in a relatively built up area.
It was sickening to see the car approaching from behind and literally launch one of the guys and the rider also.Terrible. ![]() |

Being rammed from the rear is more common than I ever thought.
Last year my 650S was written off by exactly this - in 30 zone in Stockton just as schools letting out. Stopped for lollipop crossing, covering rear brake. Just as the kids started over (luckily all on other side of road still) there was a massive bang and I went flying. An older guy hadn't seen me, the lollipop, the kids or the 5 cars on the other side of the road - traffic cop stated skid mark only started 4' behind my rear wheel! Talking with an officer in hospital later he told me that it was quite a common sight, people get distracted or don't read the road any distance ahead every day in his area. Liam |
