That is incredible! Those two are lucky to be alive so they can sue the badge off that trooper. Wonder what his in-car camera shows him doing prior to impact?

I'm sure they are similar to Tennessee. Maximum out of pocket the State is liable for is $800,000!  :nixweiss: :nixweiss:

Lets pray they get well. WOW!!

Without a data HUD in the camera display you can only guess as to speeds.  Given that both vehicles are going the same direction the closing rate between the two is still not small.  If the cruiser is going the speed limit the bike is well under. 

If the bike is going the speed limit the cruiser is busting the legal limit though.  There's nothing good about any of it.  The riders are still fortunate they went over the car and dissipated a lot of energy there and rolling rather than getting caught with the bike in front of the cruiser.

If the closing rate had been very slight that might not have happened.  Just a nudge then down everything they all would have gone.  Getting kicked up the higher speed might have saved their lives.

What's your guess?  Officer texting or dozed off?  I'd vote for texting.

Texting get's my vote.  It's sad that civilians text constantly while behind the wheel but I've passed/pulled beside at a red light numerous LEO's in the past several months that were either talking on their cell or texting.  Hard to enforce the law when you are breaking it yourself...

As for the video, that was awful.  Riding along minding your own business when you are hit from behind by no less that a police officer....not chasing anybody nor weaving through traffic..... :nixweiss:

I can't get the video to run.  Perhaps for the better, not sure I want to see.

I did - finally.  Must have taken 3 or 4 minutes before all the various chit loaded and I could watch the video.  As said by others - very scary.  Glad they made it through and hope for a quick and full recovery.
