636 vs. u-haul truck in San Diego yesterday?
Does anyone know any details about this accident and if the rider is ok? I was about to get on the 15 near Fry's in Mission Valley and all of a sudden in the middle of the road I see a 636 basically inside the front of a u-haul truck. I don't have a picture, but even if I did, I'm not sure you'd believe it wasn't a photoshop.
The front half of the bike was untouched and held perfectly upright by the fact that the rear half of the bike was enveloped by the front of the u-haul truck.
This was right before an intersection, and my best guess is that for some reason the bike had to stop quickly while the u-haul was moving quite rapidly. How that all happened, I'm not sure.
Here's my best monday morning re-enactment. The police/fire were already on scene so there was no reason to stop, and I saw at least one victim moving around on the curb.
Wow.

I had a green light when I got to the intersection, so I was only able to look for a few seconds until I was honked at, but...
I saw someone sitting on their own, but then being put onto a stretcher. I suppose that could've been the u-haul driver, but I suspect it was probably the rider.
