From the video, it looked like the first biker that was hit was deliberately taunting the SUV driver - getting right in front of him and slowing down. So, first biker knocked down, not clear how much he is hurt. Accident looks like his fault but maybe not. Driver stops like a good citizen. Other bikers cluster around SUV. Can’t see what happens but after a bit driver takes off, hitting other bikes and bikers. Chase ensues, driver eventually gets off highway, gets stuck at traffic light, biker breaks window.
Apparently all NYC cops are on furlough, or neither bikers nor driver thought to call 911: Help - this guy just ran over our buddies and took off! Help - this biker gang is chasing me and my family on the Westside Highway!
“or neither bikers nor driver thought to call 911”
Extremely hard to call 911 while trying to evade 50 motorcyclists out to beat you and possible kill you.
“From the video, it looked like the first biker that was hit was deliberately taunting the SUV driver - getting right in front of him and slowing down.”
Right before that he was riding next to the SUV driver in the same lane taunting him.
Other reports say that the driver of the SUV had already called 911 before the “biker” forced him into an accident. 200 others had already called the police about this group of “bikers” before that as well.
