Fleeing Florida motorcyclist flips off police before getting hit by truck

A Florida motorcyclist is facing multiple charges after he blew through a red light while fleeing from local police and flipping them off seconds before getting T-boned by an oncoming truck.

“Here’s a good way to get yourself killed,” the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office wrote in a Facebook post.

The three-minute video shared by police shows Deputy Bissonnete attempt to pull over a group of motorcyclists who were “popping wheelies” late on Friday, March 3.

The group ignored authorities requests to pull over and decided to speed off, leading police on a high-speed chase.

Dashcam footage shows the group of motorcyclists recklessly weaving in between cars at a high speed.

When approaching a red light, the group ignored it and continued fleeing from deputies.

One of the motorcyclists, Joshua Richardson, looked back and flipped police the bird before continuing to travel into the intersection – directly into the path of an oncoming truck.

Richardson miraculously survived the crash and briefly attempted to run on foot before he was apprehended by police.

On body camera footage released by the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office, Richardson is seen writhing on the ground and telling deputies he is in a lot of pain.

In a lot of pain?

Arguably better than being in a lot of dead...

“Richardson is seen writhing on the ground and telling deputies he is in a lot of pain.”

Well, did they put him out of his misery? Are there riots, looting and burning in that Florida town, tonight?

No one EVER stands up for ‘Florida Man!’ *SMIRK*

He’s a real Florida Man
Sitting in his Florida jams
Painkillers in the jail
He’s got time to think

Does he have a point of view
Know yet where his life goes to
Or will he blame others
And not learn a thing?

Florida Man, please listen
Get a clue, stop pissin’
All your opportunities away

Just because your ass is white
You’re still screwed if with the cops you fight
And gravity hurts even if you’re right
Never mind the trucks

The annual pilgrimage to Daytona Bike Week usually has a few bikers sacrificed to the gods of Biker ‘Freedom’ to act the fool. Sadly some do not survive.
Also sad because most now only go for the party and do not even even know why there is a Daytona Bike Week. The last time I went, it was all about showing off. Showing off their capicity for acohol, motorcycles, wheelies & drag racing on the streets and the women to show off their mammaries and that was over 20 years ago.

It should have been “even though your ass is white”
