These are the most sobering motorcycle crash photos I’ve seen in a long time.
No gore, just a good wreck. There is an explanation below on what happened. The Honda rider was traveling at such a "very high speed", his reaction
time was not sufficient enough to avoid this accident. Swedish Police
estimate a speed of ~250 KM/h before the bike hit the slow moving car
side-on at an intersection. At that speed, they predicted that the
rider's reaction time (once the vehicle came into view) wasn't
sufficient enough for him to even apply the brakes. The car had two
passengers and the bike rider was found INSIDE the car with them. The
Volkswagen actually flipped over from the force of impact and landed 10
feet from where the collision took place. All three involved (two in car
and rider) were killed instantly. This graphic demonstration was placed
at the Stockholm Motorcycle Fair by the Swedish Police and Road Safety
Department. The sign above the display also noted that the rider had
only recently obtained his license.
Thats why we always recommend the MSF course to new riders.....Really is a shame. Check out this one http://www.connpost.com/news/ci_2828466 hit so hard it pushed the car 35 feet!!!!!!
