In reply to the discussion: Caught on video: Father with family in SUV chased, beaten by speed-demon bikers [View all]TorchTheWitch
(11,065 posts)In the video footage there is a rather large group of bikers up very close to the passenger side of the car though it's difficult to tell what is happening since pretty much all you can see of the SUV of that point is the roof. Notice, too, all of the other passenger side damage like the shattered window where the wife is and all the denting of the body. Considering that what is happening in this photo is right after the driver side window was smashed, the driver pulled out and what appears to be a group of bikers beating him on the ground since he's out of the car at that point when is it most likely that all that damage to the passenger side of the car occur? Especially since the wife feels safe enough at the point this photo was taken to start getting out of the vehicle while her husband is being beaten? In this photo no biker is interested in the passenger side of the vehicle, and with what is happening in the photo is only seconds from when the driver window was smashed and the driver hauled out... so WHEN did all the damage to the passenger side occur if not on the highway? That passenger side damage could not have occurred and all the bikers and their bikes gone from the passenger side of the vehicle in the mere seconds it took from the end of the video just before the driver is hauled out and this photo was taken at any other time than when they had the SUV trapped on the highway before the SUV ran over the bikes and fled. And in the extremely most likely event that all that passenger side damage occurred while they were on the highway before the SUV ran anything over to escape isn't it most likely that the tire damage occurred ALSO at that time just like Lien said it did and that they were pounding on the car at that time just like he said they did?
Further, that tire finally flew off FAR down the road while the SUV was driving at speed at 3:04 in the video intact, and the part of the chase where you can see the SUV it is not listing, it's riding evenly and smoothly which would not have happened had the tire already been flat. Thus the damage to the tire had to have been a puncture that took time to bleed out all the air until the tire finally flew off at 3:04 in the video MUCH later than the time the bikes were run over.
Though there are other possibilities of how the tire was damaged and when given these facts, the most likely and most probable time that tire became damaged and how it became damaged is that it was deliberately punctured along with the other passenger side damage while the SUV was trapped on the highway giving more than enough reason for the driver to take off as he did running over the bikes and injuring that one guy JUST AS Lien said. Just the presence of that many bikers THAT close to the passenger side of the SUV while it was trapped on the highway without their damaging the vehicle at that time is plenty reason enough for terror and immediate escape.
