Take a look at this motorcycle crash ( 1:00 AM
October 12th 2013 - Snt
Peters Sydney NSW), the debris appears to go around to the right in an arc. That would require a truck to run over it to disintegrate the bike including the front wheel and suspension(unseen in this film) for where it all has come to rest. I walked past this accident scene shortly after it had occurred at a
St Peters "
T intersection" and nothing was more than 30 yards apart including debris and blood puddle. ???????
At 0:19 you can see the trail goes around the corner to the right and the rear bulk of the bike with no front section has come to rest only 5 to 8 yards from the light-pole and around 5 yards out to the left in parallel alignment from the light-pole. The blood puddle was around the same alignment about 5 yards from the opposite curb over the six lane road(
Princes highway).
For "the bike to" be either broken in half or knock down the light-pole it would need to be traveling at least 150Kmh which can only be "achieved from one angle only" because curbs and other solid obstructions (cannot be seen in the clip) would prevent that from occurring at an angle for suitable result of what is found here.
The partial
Police van on the right of the picture(only its front end is shown) ,at the rear of that is approximately where the snapped off front section of the bike rests(handle-bars , suspension and wheel).
The debris field does not extend beyond any of these spacialy in rough area and certainly did not reach the opposite side of the six lane road (around 30 yards across).
Neither did the front section bounce of the bricks on the opposite footpath.
A force sufficient on the bike to snap the light-pole base would be beyond 100Kmh and does not reflect the debris field and final rest of at least the rider and front bike section.
In fact it all suggests the bike was facing at a partial side on angle pointing right while on the left hand side or more likely middle of the right turning lane and somewhere about in line(beside) with(where) the knocked down traffic-light-pole and stationary waiting for the lights. The fling distance of the rider is consistent with being struck by a bull bar the debris field and the final rest place of both the rear and front sections of bike show likeliness for the bike to have been shattered in half going under a truck and the front section dragged the rear section being slung by a fish-tailing skid motion of the truck out from under its rear wheels.
Certainly the only angle from which such a speed can be achieved to make contact with that traffic-light-pole is not particularly likely because the road(
Sydney Park road, Snt Peters
NSW Australia) behind it for
80 meters is at 15 degrees down-hill and a road-curve from its crest and is instantly around 15 degrees again for
300 meters on the other side of that crest.
This
point is finally conclusive by the height at which the traffic-light-pole was struck
and the inconsistency of it being necessarily being a bike from the fact "bowing denting" in the pole says it could be the right side of a heavy wrap-around bull-bar or low slung steel tray truck.
I did see the base of the pole with my own eyes and it is torn/snapped off which also would be an immense speed for a bike to achieve and not reflected by the debris field dispersal here.
Note: the intersection is only 1Km from one of the main rail and sea port container transport handling terminals.
