Driver Who Swerved and Hit a Motorcycle: ‘I Don’t Care’
KFOR ^ | OCTOBER 19, 2015 | Dallas Frankllin

A dramatic motorcycle crash that left two injured was caught on video by another motorcyclist’s helmet camera.

Saturday afternoon, Eric Sanders and his friend were riding their motorcycles down a Granbury, Texas road when a car suddenly swerved and clipped his motorcycle, throwing Sanders and his girlfriend off the bike.

“I’ve got a gouge in my elbow that is bone-deep,” Sanders told WFAA.

Video posted to Facebook shows Sanders’ friend confront the driver of the car.

“What were you doing? You hit them,” you can hear the friend say.

“I don’t care,” the driver of the car says.

The man in the video repeatedly says he doesn’t care because he “got stung by a wasp.”

Sanders is recovering from his minor injuries, but his girlfriend remains in the hospital.

“They’re worried about infection,” Sanders said, crying. “If her arm gets infected they’re going to have to amputate it.”

According to WFAA, so far, no one has been ticketed for the wreck, or for the pass in double-yellow lines.

The Texas Department of Public Safety says they are investigating whether the man intentionally crashed into Sanders.

” riding a four-wheeler off into a ditch.”

And what group of people hates off-road vehicles more than any other? Yup. It’s a mystery.

Hates bikes? Check
Hates ATVs? Check
Zero regard for personal property? Check
Zero regard for the law? Check
Zero regard for human life? Check, Check, Check and Check.

But no. Surely liberalism that is all about the above had absolutely NO bearing on his actions. He got his mindset from studious review of the Bible, no doubt.

“There is a reason the medical world refers to bikers as “organ donors”.”

We call them donor-cycles.

That reply did not make the least bit of sense.

Hope you didn’t dislocate your shoulder while patting yourself on the back.

You know full well this is a lib snowflake whose mommy convinced him he was special.

If it had been a bicyclist, a large contingent here would have cheered the guy.

Which reply? Your post that I quoted was full of innuendo that, if you were hit by a car, your biker friends would pay the drive a visit and.... Well, fill in the blanks. Sure sounded like you were implying they would terrorize the drive for their mistake.

"... but they gotta stop somewhere, eventually..." Is that NOT you saying you'd follow them and confront them?

You must know the old joke about the difference between a porcupine and a BMW.

The biker should get some time in the pokey because of the injuries his passenger received.

Thank you for that. I was wondering how long it would take for that comment to show up.

Only sissies swerve cars when stung.

I was riding out in the country once, and had a freaking wasp fly into the sleeve of my jacket. Yeah, I screamed like a girl when the damned thing started stinging me, but I maintained control of the bike. Fortunately, there was no traffic, so I was able to stop quickly and rip the jacket off and start stomping all over the sleeves to kill the evil bastard. Shortly after that, I bought gloves that you could tuck the sleeves into.

Yep, Learned about the all too typical BMW type driver many decades ago. Once it became the Yuppie car of choice the game was on. When i had to drive in SoCal I had great fun messing with them.

Was often too easy spotting them and figuring out what the "clever fellow" would try to pull off. Sneaking up in the right turn lane at a light and trying to zap past everyone through the intersection was a favorite. Great fun to pin them down, especially when the drivers behind me saw what was going on and joined in on it!
