Sue was on her way to work today when a car (an MPV / Minivan) pulled out of a side street right in front of her. It really shock her up because the driver hadn't seen the motorcyclist Sue was following. Only a young lad, riding properly and safely, but, he didn't stand a chance. The motorbike (a 125cc machine) was completey wrecked, fuel tank split and fuel everywhere. The rider had both legs broken and loads of other injuries. The STUPID woman driver of the MPV got out, ran round and fell over on the spilt fuel.
The local Fire tender on site in 2 minutes, but the ambulance took 22 minutes and that's CRAP when a badly beaten up rider is lying broken up in the road. Sue and another woman driver gave statements to the police saying the rider didn't stand a chance and that the MPV driver should not have pulled out of the side road and that it had pulled out so fast the driver obviously hadn't seen the motorcycle.
And all the time traffic was trying to drive round the accident - buses included! Eventually there were enough police to stop that, but it's a poor reflection on our society that there were no offers of help, just a "carry on regardless" attitude.
