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.

McDuffie did the same thing in Miami back in 1980 and the cola shot him.
One blew around me while a family in front of me was making a legal left turn in an old heavy car. He t-boned it real well.
First time I ever got to pump a man’s chest! Messed him up mentally, and he later killed another man and died in prison.

What a mildly horrific story. Glad none of you were hurt.
