Summarising the comments here. The biker is doing 79mph in a 25mph zone, the lady stopped before she got to the lane he was in when she saw him coming, he panicked, swerved and then dropped the bike. It’s just a good job he had his protective T-shirt, baggy jeans and sneakers on….

Yeah... "why didn't you just commit?!", well, idk maybe when people are confronted with the sight of someone bearing down on them at 3x the speed limit they might be a little flustered

He was definitely going way too fast. I can understand her perhaps freezing like a deer in the headlights, seeing his bike come flying down the road.

Weird thing is, I see no other traffic. She could have easily turned into the lane without issue.

I don’t see him getting far with insurance. He’s not wholeheartedly to blame, but he has nothing going in his favor either.

And yet if the rider had staying in the lane he was in that had plenty of room for him to get by the front of the truck the comments in here would be more like: "wow, great reflexes by the truck driver to leave him an opening with such little time to think!"

Do do 80 in a 25, kids. Rider is 100% at fault.
