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.

Special recognition to his buddies who left him for dead.

With friends like that, who needs enemies?

Ol’ Josh will probably ID every one of ‘em.

Saw this guy on On Patrol Live! Friday night episode.

They never mentioned, I don’t think they even realized, that the cyclist was HIT by the pickup truck.

He had a YUGE serious bruise on his right leg.

Being this happened on Friday night, they should have covered it on Saturday night’s First Shift show or the regular Saturday night show, but they did not.

The truck owner will be out a lot of money. Insurance does not pay enough for repair. Or the insurance going up as a result of the accident.

Not a single one of them gave a rat’s ass about their “friend” Joshua.

I think dumbass Joshua needs to find some REAL friends.

My favorite karma story: many lifetimes ago, I worked for a law firm that was big and rich enough to waste all sorts of time and money on virtue-signaling “pro bono” cases. They worked on one involving an illegal-alien cop killer for years. It was not 100% clear this loser fired the fatal bullet, but there was no doubt he was seriously involved. So the firm spent millions of dollars of attorney time on the case, finally got a left-leaning federal judge to disregard the trial and all prior appeals and spring the guy, the senior partner who masterminded it all was thrown a huge party and treated as a hero in whatever Latin American country the killer was from ... and a month or two later, the killer died in a car wreck!

yeah but again, you can’t shoot what you can’t see- Wick gets knocked out, tied up and brought to justice before he gets a shot off-

But to be fair- they do call John Wick Baba Yaga- The supposed boogey man killer (Which apparently the movie got wrong- it evidently sorta means ‘old witch’ in Slavic lore)- but i still think old bat ears has the advantage-
