[look 171]

Wife b-day so kids wanted Brazilian BBQ (located in a crowded part of town). This is death by meat BTW, but a dang delicious dinner. Anyway, traffic was piling up but moving. I have been watching my mirrors to switch lanes when cars slow up to make right or left turn trying to avoid getting stuck in the long line of back up. We were all moving between 20-25mph. Left lane was clear for a block with a long gap of about 3 car length (keep in mind this is a busy part of LA so that's a lot or room). I pull out to take that spot and noticed a motorcycle horn beeping. Next thing I know, Motorcycle rider hits the car head on on the other side, goes flying.

I pulled into his spot but couldn't see anyone and it has been clear for a block or two with the same white car that has been there for the last three blocks. I realized he had crossed the double yellow to get around the slow moving white car he was behind and needed to come back in only I happened to take that space at the same time. He had no choice but hit that oncoming car. We all stopped and the lady in that white car told me/cop that the motorcycle went around her on the other side of the double yellow and I happen to pull into the opening. Motorcyclist looks to be a food delivery person with large soft bags scattered all over the road. Cops came, I gave my statement and he told us to move on. Thanks goodness that women was there to give her side of her story if not, I would have been screwed. What a dumb azz.

Rider seems hurt after flying over the car but moving and breathing. It was a small, 125 or 250cc bike? Not sure if a larger bike would have made any difference? The young woman that hit the bike head on is really shaken up, crying on the sidewalk. I hope she is OK. What a mess.
