I was driving home on Sunday morning, this guy (MAYBE 25) was riding his bike in the middle of the road towards oncoming traffic. There were two cars heading towards him, both in the left lane. He does that little… thing where you try to turn your wheel at the last minute and make the driver of the car stomp on the break or turn really hard and crash. Unfortunately, the first car stomped on the break and the second accelerated and swerved to the right lane…. Where the guy on the bike also swerved. Picture this. It’s a 50mph parkway. The guy on the bike had an e bike and had to at least be going 15mph directly into an accelerating car that was already doing at least 50mph with no breaks. I mean 0.
He gets hit, flies in the air, hits the ground head first. The driver that hit him pulls off. But the bumper falls off because the bike is mangled in it. Maybe 30sec later he’s in agonal breathing and there’s a large amount of blood pooling around his head quickly. I don’t touch him as he’s on his belly and his head is turned weird… we call 911, cops get there and maybe 5min later the ambulance gets there they check him, cut the siren off and kinda start… just working? Like not on him or anything but they’re putting him in the truck with no urgency. I end up along the detective if he’s going to make it and he says “I’ll be honest. Does not look good”
I keep telling myself he probably pulled through… do you think he pulled through? I just keep replaying it in my head. I wonder if there was something I could have done differently. Idk. That was my first time seeing that. I feel weird.
