Today around 230pm i was traveling north bound on el mirage road going to go east onto indian school road. there was a line of few cars and i was about 4 back. There was a gold land rover driven by a female driver around 19-21 y/o who was also trying to make a left turn in the front of this line. while waiting at the stop sign, i saw out of the corner of my eye a red honda 600RR traveling west bound in the fast lane doing MAYBE the speed limit, if not a few mph less. when he was about 150-200 feet fron this 3 way intersection, the female driver of the land rover pulled out to make the left, right in front of him. He braked so hard his tires smoked, and he ended up going into a stoppie from so much front brake. the bikes nose ended up hitting just past the rear driver door and his head either hit the piller or went thru the side window. he then spun and flew about 70 feet to where he rolled a few times till he came to a rest. * just incase u r wondering by now, he WAS in full gear.. but i dont remember if he had gloves on. his hands werent rashed up..but i remember seeing fingers.* I got off my bike and ran over to him while others were calling 911. when i 1st saw him, he wasnt looking good. his eyes were open, but they were rolled to the back of his head and he was making gurgling noises. i tried talking to him, but nothen much was coming out and he had fluids coming out of his nose/mouth. i kept trying to talk 2 him and reassure he was ok and fire/medical was on their way right now. A few mins later right b 4 fire showed up he tried moving a few times but i think it was more of a "self check" cause he would just move/twitch his hands or feet. by this time he was talking a bit better and his eyes were open and looking forward.

I am going to call tonight when get to work to see what his status is. But if anyone of u know someone who rider a red honda RR and they wear a red helmet and a textile jacked that sas "HONDA" on the back.. id give them a call.


EDIT:

Here are some pics i snuck in:

Bike in fast lane of westbound traffic. the land rover is the vehicle in the middle of the lanes, almost right above the bike

Same pic, but a closer view, u can kind of make out where the bike hit behind the rear driver side door and the lack of glass to the back window

Picture of rider still faced down, but with helmet off and fire/paramedics working on him.

Shitty/stupid thing is.... there was NO traffic behind the motorcycle. if she could have waited maybe 2 secs, she had all the time in the world to turn.

If you dont have a full name then the hospital wont give info out about him. Your best bet is to go to the hospital and find his room and give him a visit. I had a guy crash infront of me and I took him to the ER and all. He actually called me the other day. He got my number from the police report and he wants to take me out to dinner and the bar as a thanks for everything I did. Props to you Kris as many people now a days would have just kept going.

well, i didnt get a chance to get TO many details.. but from what i found out, he is actually gonna be fine. i used my "connections" to by-pass that whole thing of not having his info. anywho.. he just got some abrations, cuts, scraps ect... but nothen broken and no concusion. I am glad to hear this..because when i got there secs after it happened.. i seriously thought he was going to die, specially with his eyes rolled ot the back of his head and fluids coming out of his ears/mouth. good luck to him and speedy recovery

His Gear Saved his life.

His eyes where probably rolled back because he passed out due to such sudden movement of his body, it happened to me when I got into a car accident but I was fine afterwards. I hope this Biootch pays for what she did, the excuse "I didnt see him" pisses me off to no end!....

I wish him well too.
