The unbelievable moment a Range Roger driver who was surrounded by motorbikes sped off over the top of them apparently killing at least one person, has been caught on film.
The footage was captured on a helmet camera of a
motorcyclist during an annual bikers' event in New York City.
Posted this morning, the film shows a black Range Rover
being surrounded by bikers as they speed along at close proximity to each other
and the car.
At the start of the six-minute film, it appears one
motorcyclist brakes in front the the car and gets bumped by it.
The scores of bikers then slow and stop, all looking back to
see what damage has been done. At least one motorcyclist gets off his bike and
begins to stride over to the car.
But as he nears, the Range Rover accelerates suddenly
knocking over bikes and motorcyclist, and powering over the top of them.
The driver speeds away, but immediately the angry bikers
follow it and it takes a matter of seconds for them to catch up.
The footage shows them following the vehicle for several
minutes, at times getting close and intimidating the driver.
The group of bikers take Exit 14, on route 95, following
signs for the Cross Bronx Expressway and passing the sign for Henry Hudson
Parkway, before they traffic begins to slow.
The bikers again surround the vehicle, blocking its path and
it's forced to stop.
Sezing an opportunity to confront the driver, one biker
dismounts and tries to open the door. As soon as he does, the Range Rover
driver again speeds off, knocking down at least one more motorcyclist.
The driver heads off on route 95 heading north towards the
Cross Bronx Expressway, then taking the W 176 SI which leads into a built-up
area with heavy traffic.
Forced to stop at traffic lights, the Range Rover comes to a
standstill, and within seconds two bikers are off their vehicles and attacking
the driver's side windows.
The first takes off his helmet and smashes it against the
driver's door window, smashing it; the second tries to punch through the rear
door window.
The footage then stops.
The video was posted by a biker, under the name GIXXARDR on
Liveleaks, from Melbourne, Australia, this morning.
Already it has received numerous comments, most are in
support of the Range Rover driver
One person, who's profiles name is Sgt Pepper, says: 'I would do exactly the same thing.
They're
intimidating him and he's probably fearing for his life.'
Another, known as 'zacarra' says the driver acted in 'self
defense'.
'Did you see the biker break (sic) check him in the
beginning. This poor guy was running for his life from the start,' zacarra
writes.
A comment left by 'badmother2' questions: 'I want to know 2
things: 1) What happened before filming started. Why did the bikers pick on
this guy exactly? 2) What happened after filming stopped???'
One commenter, 'pixiesprimecut,' claimed the driver was
beaten into a coma.
According to 'meathead12' it was 'justifiable': 'Only a fool
would stick around to be pulled out of his car and lynched by 100 bikers.'
'charlesferg' says the NYC has now banned the riders' annual
event.
