Van never even slowed down. The crazy thing was, no one had any clue as to what happened. There were (guessing) 4 cars in front of me on the left lane, and one or two behind them in the right lane, traffic was pretty tight. I saw the van swerve from the left into the right, and (I think instantly) took my foot off the gas. The way he swerved, I was certain there either was an accident, or he just caused one. I also knew the bikes were up there. About 1 second after he swerved, there was dust and debris flying around, and brake lights lighting up, and everyone in front of me stopping off the road. My wife said one fo the first things I said was where is the white truck that hit him.
I spoke to everyone on the scene, no one had a clue as to what happened. The guy who laid his bike down said that an old white minivan swerved in front of them. I had seen it swerve, and had also just seen an old white dodge minivan pass me on the right, then cut into the left lane. Put 2+2 together and realized it was the same van. By then, the guy was long gone. The biker thought he may have had a blow out, so I called 911 back to tell them the guy left the scene, maybe with a flat. I don't think I could have chased him even if I realized immediately that he left the scene because 1. I had my wife and two kids in the car and 2. had the guy right in front of me in the road, with no way around at first.
Dude is very lucky. I really thought when I got out that I was going to see him dead or die. Crazy scene.
