A young woman, trying out her new helmet-cam while riding her motorcycle, gets clipped by a crazy motorist in LA.

For more details on the accident, read her FAQ.

This accident occurred on the 55NB/Dyer at 3:18 PM in Santa Ana, California. This is a 4 lane freeway with a HOV lane.
On my way home from work Friday afternoon, a Honda Civic lost control in the HOV (Carpool) Lane. I was in the #1 (Fast Lane). The Honda Civic spun around on the freeway and came at me. No one knows yet why the Honda driver would lock the brakes, swerve out of control, and never try to correct it. If you watch the video though, you do see him accelerate at first towards the white car ahead of him. He doesn't get that close to the white car – he still had at least a car length - but for whatever reason he slammed on the brakes, resulting in the locking of the wheels, burning/smoking tires, loss of traction, loss of control, etc. . I end up in the #2 lane. His vehicle is almost turned around 180 degrees in the wrong direction, completely across the #1 lane and into the #2 lane. His left front headlight/front panel T-boned the right side of my bike. "

Camcorder is a Sony HC42
Bulletcam from www.helmetcamera.com - Sony EX-View 560 with the 2.6mm lens for 120 degree angle of view.
