It's not really graphic. The Range Rover was probably at fault for the initial part, but I don't really understand why the guys on the motorcycles thought ANY of that was a good idea. You can see people crowding into his lane at the start. They're lucky nobody was hurt worse.

Update: Another news report.http://abcnews.go.com/US/video-shows-motorcyclists-pull-driver-car-beat/story?id=20419705

Update 2: They arrested the biker that seems to have started the whole deal, though he was not one of the people who chased and assaulted the RR driver. http://nypost.com/2013/10/01/cops-bust-bike-thug/

You mean the part where the biker that turns around brakes into the front of the SUV? Everyone is at fault here, but the bikers riding like they did started it all.

I ride and I really hate some of the groups in my city who act like thugs and think they are above everyone just because they're on bikes.

From what I could tell it looked like the bikes impeded traffic at the start...for what reason, who knows. I wonder what provoked the Rover to charge out though. I assume he feared for his safety (understandable considering the amount of bikers surrounding him stopped).

I would assume the way the bikes were around the car, the driver feared they would attack. That doesn't really justify running the dude over but it looks like they were being dicks

Looks like they completely blocked the expressway and one even looked as though he was trying to get rear ended by the range. Then they all stopped. Why?Because the bike got lliterally inches in front of the rover and got hit or were they already trying to fuck the driver up at this point and the braking on a bike in front of a range rover was that genius' way of getting them to stop?

Why...are the bikers just drifting in/out of lanes and even riding between them.

Guy shouldn't have road raged on the bikers, but cmon now...

edit: watching more...no sympathy for the bikers, given whats presented in the video. You can't ride like they are.

I would assume that something happened prior to the video started being recorded, and what we are initally viewing is the bikers trying to stop the SUV because of the previous transgression.

Something must've happened for them to form a rolling roadblock before hand. I'd be pretty scared if a shit ton of dudes on bikes blockaded the road though.

Did something happen before the video starts? Because they were obviously trying to stop this SUV and get at its driver.

The bikers are responsible for everything that happens in the video. If I found myself surrounded by a gang of bikers trying to pull me out of my car, I'd run them over too.

Again I don't know what happened before, but the driver is making the only real choice in getting away from those people by whatever means necessary.

Looks like bikers started it to me and the hit did not seem intentional. Its like they expected him to fly over them. Fucking idiots.

Also, like 20 of them, riding in a almost threatening manner and 1 of him? If anything he showed a lot restraint has he could have purposely ran over most of them.

Here is a legal question, if the driver in the Range Rover is a legal gun owner, is he allowed to shoot the biker who is attacking him in his car? When the guy starts smashing in the windows?

According to the story his wife and 5yo daughter were in the truck with him, and after the initial rear-ending incident the bikers blocked the road and began attacking the truck. Can't say I blame him for wanting to get out of there and protect his family.

What's the story behind why that one guy just stopped right in front of the truck? Makes no damn sense.

As for running over people to get away, what a piece of shit. Jesus.

Why didn't the RR driver call the cops while driving? I sure as fuck would've been on the phone with them right after fleeing, shit.

We need to know more about how it started.

Seriously though, wouldn't you be terrified if all those motorcyclists were surrounding your car?

probably being dicks or slowing down traffic so that they have some free room to speed ahead

Lol yep. Totally justified. Apparently he had his wife and small child in the car as well. Some clowns block the freeway then one gets off his bike to approach my car with my family in it while surrounded by a bunch of assholes. Yeah good luck tough guy. Hope you're rover proof.

I would have ran me over some bikers, and then asked siri for a local police department and dare them to drive there. Those bikers were violating many laws in how they were riding, even before the bump. Fuck them.

You can tell you're dealing with dumbasses when they thought it was a good idea to chase after a range rover in bikes. They easily could have been killed by collisions.

This video makes no sense. It cuts off the most important parts; what started it and how it ends. Who the fuck edits a video like that?

With what we see, it looks like the bikers are trolling, which is obviously shitty, but running someone over because of it is kinda of an excessive response.

And where is the police? How can they meet there without any police in sight?

None of the bikers was hurt, only the SUV driver got into hospital with injuries after he was attacked. It's clearly the fault of the bikers here.

Bikers fucked with the wrong car.

The SUV apparently was carrying the driver's wife and kids. Bikers were fucking with him, stopping short and boxing him in. Hope they all go to jail.

I feel the same way. Especially if I have my family inside my car.

I like the part at the end where some cowboy tries to break the rear window with his fist and suddenly realizes what a stupid idea that was.

Also damn, as long as the Range Rover driver had a full tank of gas, he can easily outrun the bikers who have 2.5/3 gallon fuel tanks.

Could be the guy wasn't even there to film it when the commotion started.

The videos shows them braking in front of the car on the highway forcing him to stop.

No shit, but we have no clue as to what transpired before that video was cut and or started recording. I'm not justifying the actions of the biker, but we really don't know if there was something the driver of the Land Rover did to provoke the biker in the first place.

The biker deserved something for sure, but to potentially run over half a dozen people puts the driver of the Land Rover in a whole different universe.

This. Hell, even if I didn't have family in my car - if I was alone and some mob started smashing my windows - I'm driving out of there. Looks like they started threatening his life/safety by smashing the windows and trying to get into the car, at that point flight-or-fight kicks in. I donno' what happened before the video rolled, but from what's on tape it looks like the bikers are at fault.

They stopped the SUV and tried to gang up on him from the start. The driver was literally forced to run them over. How do you not get this?
