The images show that the victim, 29, was traveling in a zig-zag pattern and also, at one point, standing on the bike. The motorcyclist lost control of his vehicle, crossed into the oncoming lane and collided with another vehicle. The driver of the truck, which was loaded with bricks, suffered only minor injuries, according to Federal Highway Police (PRF). The truck driver tried to avoid the cyclist and overturned.
According to the accountant who caught the amazing video on his new iPhone, Josimar Tossin, 58, who was driving behind the dead man, the victim was driving in that manor for at least 3 miles.
“I could not even pass him, I kept a reasonable distance and tried to warn other driver by honking and flashing my headlamps,” Tossin told RPC-TV. He lamented that his warnings failed to prevent the accident.
There is no word on if the man had been drinking.
