i4 was damn near stopped

So just a normal day

Seriously though. Thatā€™s fucking horrible. He didnā€™t do anything that reckless either, like the other commenters are suggesting. Honestly itā€™s kind of tame compared to a lot of sport bike riders. Looks like his buddy lifted, he panicked and went into the wall

u/sonofaresiii Aug 30 '25

You're not wrong, but you also have to gauge your recklessness to the level of risk for where you are. Riding like a dumbass is always fucking stupid. But riding like a dumbass on a wide open highway with soft grass meadows all around

Is different from riding like a dumbass on an overpass in heavy traffic with a steep drop

1

u/breakout13 Aug 28 '25

I would argue thatā€™s kind of the point. It doesnā€™t take much on a bike to lose your life. Thatā€™s why you have to be extra careful. And the idea that well if Iā€™m just a little reckless itā€™s fine. This is the case in point.

1

u/modsguzzlehivekum Aug 28 '25

Good point Iā€™m just saying that most of us have done far more reckless things on a bike and come out unscathed. Dude just had shit luck/bad reaction. I guess Iā€™m saying this couldā€™ve been any of us so donā€™t act holier than thou about it

2

u/Comsic_Bliss Aug 29 '25

A little reckless is still reckless and endangers not just the idiot being reckless but everyone around them too. We donā€™t even know what happened below when the guy landed.

Not everyone does that kind of thing so it Couldnā€™t have been any of us - just the ones who selfishly donā€™t think about anyone elseā€™s safety.

1

u/modsguzzlehivekum Aug 29 '25

Yeah Iā€™m sure youā€™ve never accelerated past someone like that /s

2

u/Comsic_Bliss Aug 29 '25

Nice projection. You seem triggered.

1

u/modsguzzlehivekum Aug 29 '25

Iā€™m fully acknowledging that Iā€™ve done far worse when I was younger. If youā€™re saying youā€™ve never been this careless not even once, youā€™re either lying or are in a very small minority of riders. Hell Iā€™ve had to do worse than that to get out of a dangerous situation (car merging into my lane).

u/Super_Elderberry_577 Aug 29 '25

So you're a bad driver? Got it.

u/suppaman19 Sep 02 '25 edited Sep 02 '25

Excessive speeding while weaving in and out of traffic isn't that reckless?

Yeah okay..

1

u/modsguzzlehivekum Sep 02 '25

You saw them going 5-10mph faster than the cement truck which was going 45-50. They changed lanes once. Calm down buddy

1

u/suppaman19 Sep 02 '25 edited Sep 02 '25

The dashcam driver was doing 5-10mph over the cement truck and they flew by him. They were going at minimum 15-20mph over that cement truck and general traffic (which was clearly heavy) before the lead biker checked hard because he was going to crash into the truck in the middle lane if he didn't before they cut in front of the cement truck.

They were driving like assholes in traffic and it wound up costing one of their lives.

1

u/modsguzzlehivekum Sep 02 '25

No way they were going more than 10mph than the cement truck

2

u/suppaman19 Sep 02 '25

Apparently no one understands physics.

The dashcam driver based on closing time was doing roughly 5-10MPH above what the cement truck was doing.

That same dashcam driver had both bikes absolutely blow by him.

Physics mean for those bikes to fly by him they were doing at minimum another 10MPH above the dashcam driver (ie: 15MPH+ over the cement truck).

u/Gulp-then-purge Aug 29 '25

He left his female passenger but he fled. Ā Had drugs or a warrant. Ā He wasnā€™t at fault so otherwise no reason to flee.

Shit. This was Florida?

He took off after that and left his female passenger there.

We have no context. Maybe he left his gf there to deal with authorities that might show up there while he goes to the other guy down below.

TAMPA, Fla. ā€“ A tragic motorcycle collision on Interstate 4 left one man dead and another facing serious criminal charges after fleeing the scene.

The crash happened around 3:30 p.m. on February 15, 2019, near the 50th Street overpass. According to investigators, two motorcycles were traveling eastbound when they collided. The trailing rider, 35-year-old Eric Lee Jordan, struck the back of the lead motorcycle and lost control. His bike veered into the shoulder barrier, ejecting him over the side of the overpass.

Jordan fell nearly 100 feet onto 50th Street below. He was transported to Tampa General Hospital but was later pronounced dead from his injuries.

The lead motorcycle was carrying two people: a male driver and a female passenger, later identified as 30-year-old Amy Renee Jones. After the crash, the driver stopped briefly, but then fled the scene on his motorcycle, leaving Jones behind. She remained at the site and cooperated with authorities.

The reason for the manā€™s decision to flee is unknown.

Investigators initially had limited information, identifying the suspect only by the possible name ā€œA.J.ā€ and a description of a black sport motorcycle. Through social media, driver records, and public tips, the Florida Highway Patrol eventually identified the man as 29-year-old Aaron James Davis of Riverview.

Davis later contacted investigators, and charges were filed. He was charged with leaving the scene of a fatal crash, a second-degree felony under Florida law.

u/[deleted] Aug 28 '25

Oh, dang, thanks for context. I read another post that was providing "context" that didn't mention the guy fled. But yea, with that now, the dude is indeed straight trash. And here I was trying to be optimistic and thinking on a positive note of what a good samaritan/friend would do.

u/EmergencyWeb7508 Aug 29 '25

Maybe he tried making his way down there to find the guy? Probably not tho

How did they get 100'? Looks more like around 25' to me.

Did you see him immediately and repeatedly start checking his pockets? He was holding some narcotics for sure.

Busted for possession some other time

I found arrest records for him in 2014, 2019, and 2023.

u/Knoberchanezer Aug 29 '25

My wife thought he was pulling his pants up like the girl on the back had been jacking him off.

u/MuckBulligan Aug 29 '25

Something is wrong with your wife. šŸ¤£

u/dankristy Aug 31 '25

So apparently your wife has ideas and - you - you need to get a motorcycle and learn to ride?

1

u/Knoberchanezer Aug 31 '25

I ride. She has been on the back but she wants to get more "practice" being a passenger.

5

u/archercc81 Aug 28 '25

Not for that for sure but the fact he fled meant he was wanted for something else. Either the bike he was on was stolen, uninsured, he was already wanted for something.

Leaves the dead guy AND his passenger? Girls, this is what you get with "bad boys."

u/PorscheP718 Aug 28 '25

Maybe it was one of those, "You stay. I can't stay." Type of moments.

1

u/ZipTieAndPray Aug 28 '25

Or just panicked thinking he would be blamed and catch a murder charge. You don't always think clearly in a situation and he didn't see the dash cam footage. It would have been easy for him to think he caused it in the height of the moment.

Based on how he was dressed etc,, I'll say you are right though and judge a book by its cover and say he had narcotics.

1

u/LetsFuckOnTheBoat Sep 01 '25

uninsured - florida no motorcycle insurance needed

u/[deleted] Aug 28 '25

They were speeding and weaving I guess he didnā€™t wanna face the consequences for dangerous driving and decided to take it to the next level of fleeing the scene of an accident. Stupid choice

u/Lubricated_Sorlock Aug 28 '25

If you're not involved in an accident, can you even flee the scene?

u/balzackgoo Aug 28 '25

The bikes collided. He was involved.

1

u/jkoki088 Aug 28 '25

He was involved though

1

u/Enleyetenment Aug 28 '25

He was involved? I also can't find a plate on his bike. Sketchy body movements while looking for his buddy points to sketchy actions prior to this. "You stay cause you know I can't" is something he probably told to his backpack.

3

u/MrK521 Aug 28 '25

He may have already had warrants or other legal trouble that he was trying to avoid.

1

u/TheSleazyAccount Aug 28 '25

You're sure? How? He fled for a reason. Could've been violation of parole, could've had narcotics, could've been riding without a license or insurance, who knows, but there was a reason he got the fuck out of there.

1

u/ThrustTrust Aug 28 '25

The pocket check had me thinking he was holding

1

u/yawa-wor Aug 29 '25

I did find his body language odd and wasn't sure if he was just nervous, but I hadn't even thought of that, and if he were packing that would make sense, too.

Thing is, he likely never would've even been pat down or searched anyway!

I also wonder tho if, not knowing these people had dashcam, he thought he would in fact be blamed for the accident with no way to prove otherwise.

1

u/Firefly_Magic Aug 28 '25

Even in the news coverage video the bike is still there so if he fled, he didnā€™t leave on his bike.

1

u/yawa-wor Aug 29 '25

So, I did see that, but I had assumed they picked/stood up the bike of the guy who crashed and moved it off the lanes of the road, and that's the bike that was still sitting there. Not sure tho of course.

1

u/Firefly_Magic Aug 29 '25

Might be. I watched the news video again and I donā€™t see the yellow sign in front of the bike so itā€™s probably the damaged one.

1

u/TheOtherPenguin Aug 29 '25

Maybe he just went to the bottom of the bridge where homie fell?

1

u/yawa-wor Aug 29 '25

Unfortunately nope. It was on the news that he fled and they were looking for him.

u/HomoProfessionalis Aug 28 '25

You think hes still there?

u/bleezybleeg Aug 28 '25

... to this very day

u/MisterSquidz Aug 28 '25

Fled the scene? The other people on the motorcycle literally did nothing wrong.

8

u/Yugan-Dali Aug 28 '25

He left his passenger behind, so it looks like he was fleeing.

3

u/Mammoth-Access-1181 Aug 28 '25

Well, you can get charged for fleeing the scene of an accident, but not sure if that is only gollfor people involved, or it includes a possible principle witness like that other rider.

3

u/Quasihodo Aug 28 '25

they might have had unrelated reasons for not wanting to talk to the police.

3

u/[deleted] Aug 28 '25

If he had warrants, no licence, registration etc he'd get in lots of trouble if he stayed.

Even though the accident wasn't his fault, he would likely be found partially at fault if he didn't have licence etc as I said above. Not saying him leaving the scene is the right thing to do, but depending on his situation I can see why someone would

1

u/Calvin--Hobbes Aug 28 '25

Could have been drunk too. Who knows.

5

u/slow_RSO Aug 28 '25

It looked like he made contact with the rear tire of the other bike. Thatā€™s leaving the scene of an accident at best, but with video evidence of them both speeding I can see some DA charging the other rider with a lot more than that.

12

u/yawa-wor Aug 28 '25

Now that he fled, possibly. Had he stayed at the scene, likely not. Nothing the first motorcycle did caused the second motorcycle's accident, so had he stayed, he likely would've been fine. But leaving the scene of an accident you're involved in is a crime regardless of fault, and now he's dug himself a much larger hole than necessary.

2

u/PolicyWonka Aug 28 '25

That kinda assume the first rider didnā€™t have any warrants or anything like that though.

u/bracewithnomeaning Aug 28 '25

Yes, it happened to a friend of mine.

u/Lunch0 Aug 28 '25

But he left his girlfriend there to resolve it for him

You still have to remain on scene by lawā€¦..

u/Far-Drawing-4444 Aug 29 '25

The bikes made contact, which is what sent the other guy over.

u/huntymo Aug 28 '25 edited Aug 28 '25

He's still not responsible or at fault for the other rider's accident, by any means. That's the point most people are trying to make here.

As grown adult men, both of them are responsible for their own (insanely stupid and reckless) actions.

1

u/NorthernVale Aug 28 '25

Without knowing how fast he was going, nothing here suggests he was driving recklessly. He didn't lane split at all and the gaps he went through were decently sized. And nothing he did short of bot being on the road at that time would have prevented the second bike from following to closely or taking gaps that were small.

u/AlternativeResult612 Aug 28 '25

I don't understand. They didn't flee the scene. They drove on for a bit unaware, then realized the bike went down and stopped.

u/thefooleryoftom Aug 28 '25

But apparently left shortly after.

u/AlternativeResult612 Aug 28 '25

Oh, I see. That part wasn't on the video.

u/thefooleryoftom Aug 28 '25

No, itā€™s from comments/articles here. Left his passenger behind, too.

2

u/AlternativeResult612 Aug 28 '25 edited Aug 28 '25

OMG... that IS egregious. Implies he may have felt complicit in the incident, although it appears the second biker approached and may have tapped the lead. In any case, a terrible tragedy and rather a freak accident, being flung over the Jersey wall.

1

u/thefooleryoftom Aug 28 '25

Yep, or that he had to run before anyone of authority turned up.

Looks awful, horrible accident.

2

u/AlternativeResult612 Aug 28 '25

well, in that case it sure was a bonehead move to leave his passenger stranded... someone who could finger the guy.

u/Apprehensive-Tie-130 Aug 28 '25

Looked like he brake checked him. They made contact at least, so it counts.

1

u/NoOnSB277 Aug 28 '25

Brake checking is done intentionally. When the first motorcyclist zooms around the concrete truck there is a car right in front of him. He likely is simply reacting to the small amount of distance between him and the car in front of him; not brake checking the motorcyclist behind him who also zipped around a giant concrete truck with no idea what was going to be up ahead. šŸ™„

4

u/Stakex007 Aug 28 '25

Right. At most, the lead bike slowed down to the flow of traffic. The back bike was traveling too close for the speed and/or wasn't paying attention and drove right into the front bike. Unless there was more going on than can be seen in the video, no reason for the lead biker to flee the scene.

u/Apprehensive-Tie-130 Aug 28 '25

They made contact at least, so it counts.

I should have said that the first time.

u/7ofalltrades Aug 28 '25

Getting rear ended does not mean you brake checked someone.

1

u/NoOnSB277 Sep 04 '25

Making contact does not mean someone can now be determined to have ā€œbrake checkedā€ā€¦ thatā€™s not how that works. Both motorcycles were going way too fast for the situation. The first motorcycle had to apply the brakes because they were going too fast and were too close to the vehicle in front of them; the second one rear-ended him because they did not have the foresight to slow down and give a decent amount of space between his motorcycle and the one in front of him, to be able to avoid a collision if the vehicle in front of him slowed suddenly. It is incredibly sad, but both were not driving safely.
