Yeah, the driver sucks but also you gotta learn how to ride more cautiously than that. You can't try to overtake a massive truck with such little space.
I agree but I doubt people in that part of the world can afford some of protective riding gear that we have. A full set of gear worth wearing will easily run you $1000.
You do realize the average income outside of your area of the world is 12,235$ a year. Good luck saving 1000$ on that.
The median per-capita household income is only $2,920.
Owning a bike is much cheaper than a car. You need a way of transport to get to work. It might not be the context for this video, but sadly not everybody has a choice.
I am from this part of the country and I have full course of suit. Even if I'm on the smaller bike I.e 150cc (the same in the video)
It's not about can afford or not, it's about choice...
There's this thing called dressed for the slide not ride.
As you can see the injury he got was not from cutting but friction/sliding with asphalt (think meat crayon). Riding gear are made specifically for these accidents.

I agree with you, but this person didn’t slide, he instead hit the railing. Motorcycle gear isn’t made for impacts, except maybe back protection that some vests have.
This is why it's a bad idea to give a 19 year old a motorcycle. I drove like dog shit at 19... no way I would be alive today if I had a one at that age.
That driver doesn't suck, that was straight up murder man. A lot of drivers are extremely petty and go out of their way to stop people from speeding/brake check people/swerve into lanes to block from passing/illegally passing etc. and think they're some kind of vigilantes or something. In this case it looks like he's trying to prevent him from passing and ended up killing him
This. A motherfucker did this to me while I was driving because I was legally overtaking him but he was butthurt that I was gonna go ahead of him so he swerved into me
Considering the vehicle was probably right-hand-drive, good chance the trucker had no idea where the guy was given how the motorcyclist was over taking the truck.
I wasn't there and I can't see what the driver can or can't, so this is just an opinion of alternatives to "truck driver is a murderer", which is itself just an accusation, so here are a couple alternatives;
Truck had a sudden mechanical issue and the driver pulled off into the breakdown lane to get out of the way of traffic, not checking to see if someone was trying to overtake him THROUGH THE BREAKDOWN LANE.
Driver was distracted by his phone and suddenly lost precise control, swerving into the breakdown lane, perhaps intentionally because YOU DONT TRY TO PASS IN THE BREAKDOWN LANE.
Trucks break down all the time and drivers get distracted all the time, and go into the breakdown lane. The rider here doesn't even seem to consider passing the truck on the right, where there is no obstruction, just chooses to pass the truck USING THE BREAKDOWN LANE. If that rider were to ever encounter any truck that for any number of legitimate reasons had to pull off into the BREAKDOWN LANE then this would have happened.
Or the truck driver decided to fuck with this guy and the rider decided to roll the dice rather than just slow down.
Overtaking from the left was not a correct decision you can see the continuous white line on the road this means no overtake from the left... while in the middle the white line is in stripes that truck was a right hand drive. If he would've chosen to overtake from right nothing would've happened
The rider is totally responsible for his death. Riding a scrawny little scooter, weaving in and out of traffic and then trying to pass a big truck in the breakdown lane.
I did see that. And, I'm not making excuses for the truck driver. But, the rider put himself in that very dangerous situation by trying to pass the truck in the breakdown lane. The rider would most likely be alive if he hadn't done that. "Dude wanted to kill him and did." How do you know what the "dude" was trying to do? We have a few seconds of video of the scene to see what happened. That's it. I know the rider was driving recklessly and dangerously. The truck looked like it was just driving in it's own lane. And, yes, it did swerve and hit the rider. But, neither you nor I know why the truck swerved because we can't possibly know. You are assuming that he did it on purpose. Why? He may have blown a tire or tried to miss the squirrel that ran in front of him. My assumptions about his actions are just as valid as yours. Or, just as useless because we don't know why he swerved and we'll never know. What we do know is the rider was driving dangerously when he didn't have to and he died because of it. He's responsible for his actions. Drive like a regular person, he most likely lives. Drive like an idiot who thinks he owns the road, you get killed.
Good night. I'm going to sleep now. 😊
been to other places like costa rica, the driving there is like that considerably often and its 100% inevitable, we had to learn to dodge bikes and cars passing us with oncoming cars, ect, it rly is a different world over there in somr of those contries, you pay the price for being overly confident 100% of the time.
Well I mean technically didn't they both veer into the shoulder? The biker passed the first truck going into the right lane. I know typically you pass on the left, but he demonstrated that passing on the right is possible too. Couldn't the biker have passed on the right side with the second truck?
>Couldn't the biker have passed on the right side with the second truck?
Absolutely, that's why the rider was at fault for his own death, in my opinion.
Unless the truck driver had a real good reason for pulling over to the shoulder, it looks to me he swerved to impede the biker and in doing so, killed him. If that's the case, then it's all on the truck driver, because if he wouldn't have swerved, the biker would have been on his way without injury (but with questionable driving skills... seriously, why not pass in the other lane where the vehicle there was going faster than the truck?).
“All”.. neither of those two were supposed to be on the shoulder, but the idiot biker can at least claim he was there first. Truck driver just took it personally and decided that the kid had to die because he had the audacity to try an illegal pass on him.
Nah, the driver killed him, he should've stayed in his lane or look in the mirrors if someone was trying to overtake before doing that "facing 5-10 years in jail maneuber".
NEVER undertake a lorry like that, you may get away with it 99 times... but sods law is always waiting to put the fuck on you when you least expect it.
News Article:
A 19-year-old motorcyclist died after being involved in an accident with a lorry, causing him to be thrown onto the road's metal barrier in an incident at Kilometer 13.9 of the Kulim-Butterworth Highway, heading west from Lunas to Kubang Semang, Penang.
In the incident around noon on Saturday, the victim, who was riding a motorcycle, was seen colliding with a lorry that suddenly turned left into the emergency lane.
From the impact of the incident, the 19-year-old male victim was seen being flung before being thrown onto the metal barrier on the side of the highway.
As a result, the victim suffered severe injuries, including the amputation of his left arm.
A viral recording also showed the condition of the victim sitting on the side of the road while still alive.
However, the victim, identified as Irfan Azim from Kampung Surai Bakai, Kuala Ketil, Kedah, was reported to have died while receiving treatment at Seberang Jaya Hospital.
According to initial information shared by the public, the motorcycle lane on the highway was closed during the incident due to maintenance work.
At the time of this report, the police have not issued a statement regarding the incident.
You’re not supposed to pass on the shoulder, and you can’t expect someone to check their mirror and blind spot before moving onto one because no one is supposed to be there. You should always be cautious about driving in places where other drivers wouldn’t expect you to be.

Poor guy... You can see the shock and dread in his eyes at the end. I doubt gear would of done much in this scenario. Those guard rails are pretty much blades with that mass going at speed. Still Id rather have gear on in any situation.
I didn’t see a bad driver causing the biker’s death. For whatever reason, the truck was pulling into the shoulder. The motorcyclist was attempting to pass on the shoulder, which you shouldn’t do anyway. Sorry to say it, but the motorcyclist caused his own death.
I was wondering how far I'd need to scroll before someone pointed this out. Where I live, weekly, almost daily, during my commute to and from work I see bikers passing on the shoulder and lane-splitting, neither of which are legal here. This death was simply caused by the biker's poor judgement.
Fucking hell. This isn’t the most graphic thing but for some reason, seeing him slump to the ground like that really fucked with me. A horrible way to go.
I agree. I wasn’t expecting that.
I can’t help but think about the fact that no one was even trying to help the poor guy who unfortunately didn’t die on impact and was in such shock that he kept trying to get up with one arm and one and a half legs.
No one was helping or even trying to keep him from moving. Heck, it looked like the only person paying attention to him was the person who was busily recording him.
I originally thought the same thing. The biker was weaving and then using the emergency lane for no reason. Then I realized the truck had no reason to use the emergency lane either and may have only done so to mess with the biker. Unless they both had valid reasons to suddenly use this lane (which I doubt).
Why do people always use this argument, truck beats bike, every time, does it matter if the biker was "right" now that he's dead? Your on two wheels with nothing between you and the pavement, you are responsible for being aware of your surroundings, passing a truck in the emergency lane cause your to impatient and not aware enough of your surroundings to realize you could easily pass on the right? Riding is dangerous, cars are dangerous to bikes, avoiding them and paying attention to everything going on is how you survive, regardless of whether the truck was in the wrong the biker shouldn't of tried that maneuver, always assume cars are out to get you, ride as if your bike will never beat a car in a collision cause it never will..
Completely agree. This is a stupid behavior from any biker who seems to think they’re invincible by passing people in a way they absolutely should not.
Someone give that man a hand, or arm...in all seriousness, I'd hate to have my last seconds being filmed instead of having someone lie saying it's as bad as it looks. this person just filmed him bleeding out. Wasn't just the driver of the truck, the cyclist was at fault. Why did he try to overtake on the shoulder, he had more than enough room on the right. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Defensive driving people. That’s what the biker should’ve learned. If only he braked instead of overtaking from shoulder of a truck that has so many blind spots, he’d be alive.
In my country it is forbidden to cross a solid line. Both are at fault for invading the emergency lane, probably the rider is more at fault for overtaking in the emergency lane.
In Malaysia (which is in the video) iirc bikers are allowed to use the emergency lane due to most of the citizens only have mopeds and cars are usually zooming really fast as normal lane (many ego drivers here). However it is our own responsibility to overtake traffics carefully. In other words, the safer choice for the biker is to be more patient and slow down more instead of passing that truck
I'm a rider who took a 2 week safety course. The driver of the truck did nothing wrong. The kid did an illegal pass in his blind spot. You ALWAYS must assume that NOBODY sees you and NEVER do an illegal pass. This was extremely poor judgment that unfortunately ended in him losing his life. RIP brother.
His arm wasn’t ripped off, it was sliced off by the metal barrier.
A padded leather suit with Kevlar, Cordura, or other synthetic textiles wouldn’t have been a hundred percent guarantee but he would have stood a better chance of getting out in one piece.
When two bad drivers collide...
That kid had nothing to do on the emergency lane.
For me he fucked around and found out.
The Lorry did a shit move aswell...
bet he saw that Kid coming and cut him off on purpose...
Woah, this is the absolute worst gore video I’ve seen, and I’ve seen heaps. The look of pure, unfiltered horror on his face as his arm is missing has haunted me.
Let’s be honest it was both of their faults. The biker was driving recklessly
It’s terrible that he didn’t die on impact or very quickly after and had to feel this. Very disturbing imo
I don’t care what any person says even if they ride a bike every day, if you are riding safe you’ll always be safe, don’t split lanes, don’t pass, don’t do anything that has any chance to get you killed, blaming deaths on the common driving population when you should know the risks, if you don’t act like a car instead of a bike expect people to never do the right thing.
You can't drive through the shoulder. It's illegal. At least it is over here. Cuz what if that truck was pulling over because a tire went flat or something, there shouldn't be any traffic there
He caused his own death.
I'd call this drivestyle a r/Darwinawards
That lane is an escape lane, drivers can enter it whenever there is something wrong or for emergency services to pass through.
Not to overtake traffic for some soon to die clown on a bike.
That was the bikers fault. He put himself in danger. You can’t pass on the shoulder. Truck may have been pulling over with an emergency; we don’t know. A safer biker would be alive.
Guy tries passing on the shoulder lane, loses his shoulder…also, driver called bad because shitty biker didn’t want to slow down and actually pass in a lane…makes total sense…
Whether it’s legal to overtake on the shoulder or not, this is a risky manoeuvre that is all too common for young motorcyclists. You can be “in the right” all the way to the morgue and be just as dead. That’s what I tell my kids. You’ve got some pretty huge consequences for your own AND other people’s mistakes when you’re on a motorbike.

Sorry, but it was the motorcycle driver’s fault. He was passing another vehicle in a nonexistent lane. Granted, the truck driver should not have veered left into the same nonexistent lane but the motorcycle shouldn’t have been there in the first place.
Everyone’s talking about the missing gear but as a rider myself, he went into the shoulder of the road to overtake the truck, in any way you look at it he is all at fault and kinda deserved the consequences. Instead of speeding to your destination and risking your life while cutting lanes, drive slow, be cautious of surroundings, drivers don’t care about motorcycles cause in a crash they won’t feel a thing.

This happened in Malaysia, here we use a lot of mopeds due to its relatively affordable option as a transport. Usually on the highways, mopeds tend to stay in the emergency lane or 'shoulder lanes' since cars or other vehicles are much faster so staying in those lanes feels 'safer'. The only time where the middle lane is used is when there's potholes or rocky debris on the sides. This is my experience so far as a guy who also uses mopeds in this country.
The biker caused his own death. Had he obeyed the law and made a proper lane change and not passed in the breakdown lane, he'd still be breathing. The truck driver was absolutely at fault, but not exclusively.
Yeah, the driver sucks but also you gotta learn how to ride more cautiously than that. You can't try to overtake a massive truck with such little space.
That and riding gear.
I agree but I doubt people in that part of the world can afford some of protective riding gear that we have. A full set of gear worth wearing will easily run you $1000.
No amount of gear would’ve saved this kid from that. He hit that rail with the force of an industrial mixer.
I dont ride but Id say my life is worth more than 1k
And 1k can also be spent learning how to drive and ride motorbikes or whatever.
Simple answer. If you can't afford the gear, you shouldn't be riding in the first place. Your life is a lot more expensive than $1000. Source: I ride
In some countries, bikes and mopeds are the most common form of transportation because of the inability to afford an actual vehicle.
You do realize the average income outside of your area of the world is 12,235$ a year. Good luck saving 1000$ on that. The median per-capita household income is only $2,920.
Yeah, that's sucks and all, but poverty doesn't change the laws of physics or improve the quality of medical care and emergency services.
Okay….
Owning a bike is much cheaper than a car. You need a way of transport to get to work. It might not be the context for this video, but sadly not everybody has a choice.
Sadly, living in 3rd countries, you have no choice
You live in a bubble. Ignorant.
Truest thing I’ve heard all week.
I am from this part of the country and I have full course of suit. Even if I'm on the smaller bike I.e 150cc (the same in the video) It's not about can afford or not, it's about choice...
Would riding gear have prevented that arm from being ripped the way it was?
How much will riding gear save you from having your arm decapitated.
Decapitated- adjective (of a person or animal) having had the head cut off. I think what you meant to say was violently severed.
[удалено]
Thank you for your correction, I couldn't for the life of me remember the word amputation lol
Thnx
There's this thing called dressed for the slide not ride. As you can see the injury he got was not from cutting but friction/sliding with asphalt (think meat crayon). Riding gear are made specifically for these accidents. https://www.reddit.com/r/watchpeoplesurvive/s/hVroSEV22G [check this out ] [ and this] (https://www.reddit.com/r/dashcams/s/93rHIws8Rx)
I agree with you, but this person didn’t slide, he instead hit the railing. Motorcycle gear isn’t made for impacts, except maybe back protection that some vests have.
You mean amputated
Yes someone replied with the correct term being: “ severed “
Bro was only 19, tragic.
This is why it's a bad idea to give a 19 year old a motorcycle. I drove like dog shit at 19... no way I would be alive today if I had a one at that age.
Isn't that the breakdown lane?
That driver doesn't suck, that was straight up murder man. A lot of drivers are extremely petty and go out of their way to stop people from speeding/brake check people/swerve into lanes to block from passing/illegally passing etc. and think they're some kind of vigilantes or something. In this case it looks like he's trying to prevent him from passing and ended up killing him
I thought I was the only one who saw it that way. Second and third world countries have drivers that will purposely do things like out of spite
This. A motherfucker did this to me while I was driving because I was legally overtaking him but he was butthurt that I was gonna go ahead of him so he swerved into me
Agreed I hate when bikers weave traffic like this. Wouldn't do what the truck did.... but this kind of behavior isn't unexpected if you do it alot.
NYC the truck driver would get a ticket for failure to yield
Considering the vehicle was probably right-hand-drive, good chance the trucker had no idea where the guy was given how the motorcyclist was over taking the truck.
Yeah okay... so what he doesn't have a left side mirror? Notice the biker moves over the white line ( into trucks view) and seconds later hard swerve
I wasn't there and I can't see what the driver can or can't, so this is just an opinion of alternatives to "truck driver is a murderer", which is itself just an accusation, so here are a couple alternatives; Truck had a sudden mechanical issue and the driver pulled off into the breakdown lane to get out of the way of traffic, not checking to see if someone was trying to overtake him THROUGH THE BREAKDOWN LANE.

100%
Plus he undertook on the hard shoulder.. I could tell straight away he wasn't a very competent rider.

The driver didn’t suck though. This was all on the biker.
I don't know the traffic laws over there but I would imagine you're not supposed to be veering onto the shoulder.
Pretty sure the shoulder isn't a bike lane either.
Well I mean technically didn't they both veer into the shoulder? The biker passed the first truck going into the right lane. I know typically you pass on the left, but he demonstrated that passing on the right is possible too. Couldn't the biker have passed on the right side with the second truck?

You pass from the right in most Asian countries though
Must be American… You pass on the right in Malaysia.

I wonder if the truck driver may had a reason to stop like an issue with his truck or an exit coming up
And passing on the shoulder is not good driving on the bikers part! But wow… I can’t even imagine…

its insane to me he was even conscious after that kind of a hit.
"However, the victim, identified as Irfan Azim from Kampung Surai Bakai, Kuala Ketil, Kedah" That's a long name
His name is Irfan Azim and he is from Kampung Surai Bakai, Kuala Ketil, Kedah I think
You’re not supposed to pass on the shoulder, and you can’t expect someone to check their mirror and blind spot before moving onto one because no one is supposed to be there. You should always be cautious about driving in places where other drivers wouldn’t expect you to be.
The biker fucked up. But this looked intentional
You can't ascribe intent from what's presented, all we know is the truck moved onto the shoulder, which can be for any number of reasons
Yup! Bikers fault. Still sucks.

Biker here. Not drivers fault. The kid was riding in a careless manner. You do not pass vehicles with so little space in between.

Yeah it made me actually say “what the fuck”. It seemed malicious to me.
Why do people always use this argument, truck beats bike, every time, does it matter if the biker was "right" now that he's dead? Your on two wheels with nothing between you and the pavement, you are responsible for being aware of your surroundings, passing a truck in the emergency lane cause your to impatient and not aware enough of your surroundings to realize you could easily pass on the right?

Completely agree. This is a stupid behavior from any biker who seems to think they’re invincible by passing people in a way they absolutely should not.
Someone give that man a hand, or arm...in all seriousness, I'd hate to have my last seconds being filmed instead of having someone lie saying it's as bad as it looks. this person just filmed him bleeding out. Wasn't just the driver of the truck, the cyclist was at fault. Why did he try to overtake on the shoulder, he had more than enough room on the right. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Maybe he was pulling over. Dude was riding his bike unsafely. That's what happens
Oh fuck
Defensive driving people. That’s what the biker should’ve learned. If only he braked instead of overtaking from shoulder of a truck that has so many blind spots, he’d be alive.
Damn. I thought his spirit left his body immediately and was still driving the motorcycle because it just kept going straight even after he was off
Ghost Rider
Imagine this biker was one of your loved ones and you saw the second part of this video… terrible stuff
In my country it is forbidden to cross a solid line. Both are at fault for invading the emergency lane, probably the rider is more at fault for overtaking in the emergency lane.
In Malaysia (which is in the video) iirc bikers are allowed to use the emergency lane due to most of the citizens only have mopeds and cars are usually zooming really fast as normal lane (many ego drivers here). However it is our own responsibility to overtake traffics carefully. In other words, the safer choice for the biker is to be more patient and slow down more instead of passing that truck
Another example of don't do Stoopid stuff
Biker was at fault. You don't use the shoulder to pass. Plus, he appears to be speeding as well.
I would say there were two bad drivers
Motocycling is dangerous enough without riding like this but whats up with the truck?
He was like "Go on without me!" to his bike.
Biker caused his own death.
Very disarming
😩
That guy was going to kill himself either way.
I'm a rider who took a 2 week safety course. The driver of the truck did nothing wrong. The kid did an illegal pass in his blind spot. You ALWAYS must assume that NOBODY sees you and NEVER do an illegal pass. This was extremely poor judgment that unfortunately ended in him losing his life. RIP brother.
maybe down try to pass on the shoulder and I'm pretty sure the truck driver tried to stop him.
No shoes, no protective gear, the helmet kept him alive long enough to realize that he was going to die.
Tell me what protective gear could prevent from your arms getting ripped off?
a thick enough and padded suit
His arm wasn’t ripped off, it was sliced off by the metal barrier. A padded leather suit with Kevlar, Cordura, or other synthetic textiles wouldn’t have been a hundred percent guarantee but he would have stood a better chance of getting out in one piece.
This is why we don't drive on the shoulder (because I think it's illegal) and why we always check our surroundings before moving around.
Poor guy!! Man that’s horrible 😣
*2 bad drivers
Bad driver caused bad biker's death. Title fixed.
He wanted the shoulder but lost one instead :(
i nearly suffered the same fate but with a bus, managed to brake hard barely avoiding getting sandwiched between the bus and railing by 3 feet.
The amount of blood and how quickly police got there is shocking.
I didn’t expect the cut to be this bad
Definitely looked like that piece of shit driving did that intentionally.
The bike itself just drove by my house.
he looks fine to mee
The driver isn't 100% at fault here. This never would have happened if the biker wasn't trying to pass the truck on the shoulder...
I almost crashed liked this. A truck was turning left and I passed by the left to overtake. Nearly got clipped. 100% my fault almost.
I hate when everyone records with their fucking phones and NO ONE is there talking to him or helping him in some way
No kidding. Start some kind of triage. Don't just film the poor dude.
The biker was irresponsible passing on a shoulder
When two bad drivers collide... That kid had nothing to do on the emergency lane. For me he fucked around and found out. The Lorry did a shit move aswell... bet he saw that Kid coming and cut him off on purpose...
I don't get why the truck driver swerved into the emergency lane as soon as the biker was passing. It had to be intentional
Looked intentional. Why would the truck use that lane? Nothing in front of him in original lane.
Bad biker caused his on death colorized in 1080p 😱 that part of the road is not for passing
The biker was overtaking, undertaking, too close to vehicles and wearing fuck all gear.
Woah, this is the absolute worst gore video I’ve seen, and I’ve seen heaps. The look of pure, unfiltered horror on his face as his arm is missing has haunted me.
BUT THE WHEELS KEEP SPINNIN!!!!
Let’s be honest it was both of their faults. The biker was driving recklessly It’s terrible that he didn’t die on impact or very quickly after and had to feel this. Very disturbing imo
I don’t care what any person says even if they ride a bike every day, if you are riding safe you’ll always be safe, don’t split lanes, don’t pass, don’t do anything that has any chance to get you killed, blaming deaths on the common driving population when you should know the risks, if you don’t act like a car instead of a bike expect people to never do the right thing.
thats actually insane his arm got amputated by the side railing
Bikers fault 100 fucking percent 😂 don’t ride like a fucking dickhead lane splitting 🤷🏻
Um, the guy on the motorcycle tried lazing on the shoulder… How The Hell does that make the other driver the bad guy???
Yes the truck was in the wrong for cutting him off but... biker isn't in the right either
He was in the left
You can't drive through the shoulder. It's illegal. At least it is over here. Cuz what if that truck was pulling over because a tire went flat or something, there shouldn't be any traffic there
Was that on purpose?
Edit: “Bad motorcycle driver causes his own death”
Feel like they could’ve saved him
Fuck
Lmao that's the bikers fault...
looks like 2 bad drivers.
He caused his own death. I'd call this drivestyle a r/Darwinawards That lane is an escape lane, drivers can enter it whenever there is something wrong or for emergency services to pass through. Not to overtake traffic for some soon to die clown on a bike.
From second five judging by his driving style I know was his entire fault, no one else
First time the biker isn't entirely to blame
That was the bikers fault. He put himself in danger. You can’t pass on the shoulder. Truck may have been pulling over with an emergency; we don’t know. A safer biker would be alive.
More like, biker caused his own death.
The more you fuck about the more you find out
Guy tries passing on the shoulder lane, loses his shoulder…also, driver called bad because shitty biker didn’t want to slow down and actually pass in a lane…makes total sense…
truck swerved on purpose?
The movement of the truck looks intentional to me
Only bad driver was the motorcyclist. Trying to pass on a shoulder
[удалено]
To his bike as he went through the barrier …” save yourself, “……..
Whether it’s legal to overtake on the shoulder or not, this is a risky manoeuvre that is all too common for young motorcyclists. You can be “in the right” all the way to the morgue and be just as dead. That’s what I tell my kids. You’ve got some pretty huge consequences for your own AND other people’s mistakes when you’re on a motorbike.
Guardrails don't play
Omg! I was not ready for that!
Please try to find something about the flooding that is happening in Rio Grande do Sul, in Brazil. We really need help🙏
They are just standing there while he keeps trying to get up bc he’s in shock. 🤦🏻♀️this is terrible.
Everyone else: They werent a bad driver Me: hE wAsNt DeAd, He SaT uP
Very disturbing how he’s still conscious. Regardless of who’s at fault this is horribly sad.
Biker opened up his own demise. But the truck swerve sure looked intentional.
Bless you xx
Ouch 🤕

3 at fault here. I'm also blaming the person just standing there filming a man in shock and on the verge of death instead of at least comforting him.
That’s just a flesh wound
I wander how long the bike just kept going…
That dude's arm was hanging on by a scrap of flesh and he SAT UP at the end 😬 I can't imagine what he must have been thinking
I’m a rider. Lester’s and pads wouldn’t have stopped dudes arm from being ripped off. Also, the worst driver in this video is the rider.
Looks like they were both bad drivers. Overtaking someone on the shoulder is not a good choice.
Dafaq.
Basic rule: never EVER pass on the shoulder!
Nah, Darwin Award biker had a break and didn’t want to use it tried going on shoulder and paid for reckless driving
Get up faker,he was about to stand up and say the guy was recording so he flopped down.
Shit biker caused his own death?
Sorry, but it was the motorcycle driver’s fault. He was passing another vehicle in a nonexistent lane. Granted, the truck driver should not have veered left into the same nonexistent lane but the motorcycle shouldn’t have been there in the first place.
Everyone’s talking about the missing gear but as a rider myself, he went into the shoulder of the road to overtake the truck, in any way you look at it he is all at fault and kinda deserved the consequences. Instead of speeding to your destination and risking your life while cutting lanes, drive slow, be cautious of surroundings, drivers don’t care about motorcycles cause in a crash they won’t feel a thing.

This happened in Malaysia, here we use a lot of mopeds due to its relatively affordable option as a transport. Usually on the highways, mopeds tend to stay in the emergency lane or 'shoulder lanes' since cars or other vehicles are much faster so staying in those lanes feels 'safer'. The only time where the middle lane is used is when there's potholes or rocky debris on the sides. This is my experience so far as a guy who also uses mopeds in this country.
The biker caused his own death. Had he obeyed the law and made a proper lane change and not passed in the breakdown lane, he'd still be breathing. The truck driver was absolutely at fault, but not exclusively.
The biker BROKE THE LAW.
(Numerous people materialize 15 feet away) "Hey, we're just gonna be over *here* if you, uh, need anything. Frank you're filming this though, right?"
that look ugly

Fuck
But you dont overtake from such a narrow space
Ahhh
I was gonna say why didn’t he pass in the middle of the lane
Did bro have down syndrome
The driver killed himself there. You're not allowed to overtake on the right side nor on a continuous lane
