Default hit and run

Hit and run captured on camera in moscow, Russia. The motorcyclist survived but lost his leg. The cater was eventually found and apprehended by the police. What helped was this very video from a car traveling behind, otherwise it would be yet another unpunished crime. Though I am not a fan of big brother watching me, I myself am going to install a camera in my car. I hope it will never come handy though.

First I feel bad for this guy. It's pretty amazing to see how long the bike keeps itself up even after hitting the wall multiple times. Wonder why it went so far? Could it have been a throttle lock/cruise control, or was he going fast enough to have coasted that far?
