This just seems intentional. He ran into them at high speed, slowed down a bit, then crushed a guy under his wheels, then drove off. This sociopath belongs in jail.
The guy was not crushed . Bike took most of the weight.
@@seniormale Are you suggesting the driver drove over the bicyclist with knowledge that the bicycle would happen to take most of the weight of the vehicle? The pedantry of you people defending this idiotic driver is incredible.
Why would they risk their lives like that on those bicycles...
Nonsensical . I just pointed out that the biker wasn't crushed because the bike took most of the weight.
We've all wanted to tell them to get the fuq out the way....just saying.
After being arrested, he still tried to go after the injured victims. This was no accident.
WHAT?? He did WHAT?
@@Matterian They said on the video that he had to be held back by the police while the victims were being treated by EMS.
@@andrewc662 I couldn't watch it. I was too pissed.
True, but it doesn't take a genius to figure out riding a bike in the middle of a street isn't the smartest thing to do.
@@miket7184 There is nowhere on that road that would have been safe from that driver.
The driver accelerated and swerved to hit both cyclists. Evil monster.
ok so? bikers ffault anyway
Guy has a healthy disposition.
Wish both riders fast recovery.
Voodoo Ranger Juice Force is an IPA beer with 9.5% alcohol, so he had MORE than the equivalent of the average 12 pack, not including the Coors Light. That guy was LIT. He should lose his license and do serious jail time.
As someone that drinks Juice Force. You can think of it as worse than a 12 pack. You can drink those 6 much quicker than an average 12 pack of beer. I'm firmly planted on my sofa while drinking those.
@@jackholding9727 Yeah I drink a LOT of IPA's. But I don't drink them that fast. After getting thrown off the sofa a few times from the room spinning when I was a lot younger, I learned to pace myself...
@@jackholding9727Juice Force is so good but yeah..2 tall ones and I'm good lol
As some who works in the roads of dallas, I would not recommend anyone who rides bikes as a hobby do so in the roads 😢
Unfortunately, it's the same in practically every major metropolitan area, even areas that are supposedly bicycle friendly, but where else are groups of bicyclists supposed to ride?
@@jormugand5578 Fortunately, I live in an area where there are extensive bike-only trails available. I would never drive on any street with cars because of how insane people drive today. Not safe at all.
@@jormugand5578 on a bike trail? And not a road with high traffic 🙄
@@paulencisoright on! Correct answer
@@paulenciso roads aren't just for cars
There is no way in hell I would ride a bicycle with this Many people texting and driving.
Don't forget drunks. This story is about drunk driving.
No, but they where riding on a road, I would not ride a bike on. And I am a long time commuter bike rider. That road was just too busy, and did not have any type of shoulder.
I'm in another suburb and there is a whole group of bike riders who do it regularly, but it's a quieter part and they do it around 6:30 or 7:30 when there's way less traffic
Had nothing to do with texting
@@misternurse2u503 The original commenter is saying that it's not a good idea to go anyway, considering that there are many others that text and drive.
And he run away extra charges ,please
Some of these comments … we have a lot of dumb people out there.
can confirm
Dumb and vile, a deadly combo.
You must be at the top😂
@@seniormale Nope just a lot of senior males. Tard.
They must’ve come from Twitter, every comment there defends the drunk driver and even implying that cyclists should be ran over for legally riding their bikes on the road. Smh 😔
Biking on US roads are very Dangerous!
Guess you've never seen a Russian dash cam video, or most any third world country driving video... SMH
Especially dangerous, when you don't even try to ride out of the way of fast moving traffic.
@@MaxZomboni What a moronic comment... The guy was EFFING DRUNK!!!
@@ffjsb one bad doesn't make another bad magically better...
@@oliveryt7168 You're comparing apples to a bag of hammers. The US has SIX times as many vehicles on the road as Russia does, yet Russia has TWICE the per capita death rate for vehicular accidents. You clearly don't know what you're talking about.
The man spends his life helping others and look what happens.
no he doesnt, he works for american airlines according to a news article i read
@@childskites6346 He meant the victim, not the evil monster. The drunk driver worked in American Airline cargo departement.
@@tuanngntI’m not sure what the OP meant. But either way, working and loading cargo for AA is still helping others. He made a mistake, we don’t know his story. It’ll come out during the trial.
Luckily there wasn't a car behind the one they were struck by...
hitting them was aggravated assault. running over the man was ATTEMPTED MURDER
How can you prove that counselor? Please share with us your law degree and years of practice.
Texas penal code doesn't have attempted murder. Aggravated assault is the highest penalty for this offense. Look it up
This is attempted murder
He needs to live under the jail.
They blurred the first video but when they showed the same video a minute later it wasn’t blurred. Lol. Weird editing.
Here's a possible explanation. The first time you see the video, you don't know his fate. The second time, you have by then seen the cyclist walking around and talking about the accident, so you know he is basically ok. The editorial decision could have been that you are more prepared to see the unblurred video.
@@patrickalewis That sounds right
As an avid cyclist, this is the exact reason I refuse to cycle on streets. Yes, I will absolutely get the ticket for riding on sidewalks. However, in 35 years of cycling I have never received a citation for being on the sidewalk. I have been stopped by police and had discussions, but the officers always agree. Safer on the sidewalks. People today are just as likely to run over me as they were 35 years ago. My bike stands no chance against a car. My life is too important to challenge cars on a street. If there are no sidewalks I avoid that route.
A friend of Justin Timberlake no doubt !
😂
Bringing tipsy back
And justin trudeau 😂
Those who say bicycles shouldn’t be on the road most vehicle drivers drive so poorly they also shouldn’t be driving a motor vehicle. Vehicle drivers die everyday on American roads in car vs car accident, mostly the innocent are the ones dying not the ones causing the accidents.
This is why I purposely avoid the road. Stick to the sidewalks.
Some areas don't have sidewalks. The USA is a car dependent country with little to no public transportation, walking infra, and biking infra. This area has no bike lane or no sidewalks. You can ride on the road and you can also take up the whole lane.
Sidewalks can be just as dangerous in cities as you can have pedestrians or vehicles suddenly appearing from blind spots (alleys, stores, restaurants, etc) if not to you then the person you didn't see walking out in front of you until it was too late. Even as a pedestrian there are numerous times where I have been nearly run over by a driver paying attention to street traffic but ignoring pedestrian traffic.
Riding bicycles on sidewalks is also illegal
@@Daywalker_27 That law is trying to kill you
@@iGNUiCould I’m not disagreeing with that
LMAO, when thinking you're traffic goes wrong.
I done did learned over 55 years ago to stay out of the way of cars. I did never get hit by car and never wore a helmet and still alive. Where I live it is illegal to ride a bike on a road like that unless going the same speed as traffic. Stay to right.
Anyone who drives on north airfield road a few times knows there are a lot of cyclists on it. Most riders are considerate and follow proper rules and etiquette
I've genuinely never seen people so upset at someone riding a bicycle. Not much concern about people in multi ton vehicles who don't have to put much effort into getting to a high speed.
Jesus Christ please touch them and heal them and visit the one driving and deliver him from the spirit of addiction. Light be. Amen
Right ✅️ the spirits of addiction , don't I know 😢
If your BS religion was real, why would this accident even happen? You people are so delusional.
The driver should not ever have a license again.
@@HardRockMaster7577that’s not the way it works. SMH. 🤦🏾
Why doesn’t Dallas have cycling lanes for bike riders? 🤔
Dallas is in Texas which is the center of the US oil/gas industry. The government of Dallas and Texas knows who they are beholden to. Even cities with cycling lanes aren't safe with drivers constantly disregarding bicyclists - driving into the bike lane to make a turn without checking for cyclists, double-parking in the bike lane thereby forcing bicyclists into street traffic, etc.
@@jormugand5578 Cycling lanes should not be on major roads. Some residential streets sure, but the US has so much space. They could build separated bike lanes, through back allies, fields, abandoned tracks, under power lines, all over the place, and connect them all with underpasses, bridges, etc. Many people like me would use them all the time reducing both cars and bikes on the road. A win win for all.
There is one really fantastic bike path from Hillcrest Rd. and 635 to White Rock Lake. It's absolutely fantastic, follows a river, a lake, has under passes, over passes, forests, parks, and completely separated from road traffic. It was built more than 30 years ago. It's sad they did not continue it. By now it could heave covered the whole city.
It does, the right lane... SMH. There's TWO lanes there, absolutely NO REASON for a bike lane.
We don't say here in Europe: ''Is this Texas?'' to refer to something as if an anarchy for no reason.
Keep him in jail
Assault??? How about attempted murder?!?!
It’s only assault. This incident does not meet the statute for attempted murder. If the DA charges him with attempted murder, this dude would walk. Charged with assault, the DA has a higher chance of getting a conviction. But if he had a good attorney, he’d likely get that dropped. He’s likely going to be convicted on the DWI charges and face 10 years deferred adjudication.
Not applicable in texas penal code. Google
6 Juice Force at 9% abv and 2 Coors light. That's an insane level of intoxication and he went out of his way to hit them. Keep him off the roads!
Why were the cyclists in the middle of the road!!! Sad that they were hit, but if they were on the side of the road I think the outcome would have been different. I'm a cyclist and would never ride in the road like that!!! Now I only ride in designated bike lanes and don't endanger others (I'm not going to flirt with a 2000lbs vehicle). As for the dui driver, I hope he is charged to the fullest extent of the law!
1) because they have the right to control their lane from wherever they wish, same as a car or motorcycle; and they were riding in a group and
2) when people ride on the side of the road, impatient people try to brush past them without waiting for a gap in opposing traffic to pass them with legitimately and then sideswipe them knocking them down anyway. This way cars have to actually "pass", although obviously with a homicidal maniac like this guy behind them there is no safe place anywhere on the road and someone in the front of the group should carry an RPG or PIAT to level the playing field some.
Also, youd be hard pressed to find a vehicle in the US made in the last 20 years that was much less than 3,000#. And the average is prolly closer to 4,000 with all the pickups and SUVs.
This was just a get-run-over-by-a-4,000-pound SUV challenge. Any other takers?
He should be charged with attempted murder...
Texting and driving drunk
I worked in city street, ( as a garbage men ) and never trust a car s'coming, if so, i would not be here...
He can kiss that American Airlines job goodbye!
Are you kidding? They’ll probably promote him.
He was at work and on the clock when this happened.... you can see his work union tshirt
Rode tens of thousands of miles here in the USA and in Italy as amateur racer. Speaking from that that is a two lane road and when there is no or little traffic yes side by side is fine or in in city and the speed of the vehicle is very slow. Here we are on a rode pretty busy road and there is traffic cyclists ride single file and the last guy in line looks back and says car up (vehicle approaching get back in single line) or clear and no cars behind then side by side. The cyclists are eating up a lot of real estate on the road and the posted speed causes a bit a speed differential. Share the road yes no doubt but situation awareness and riding in such a manner that fits the situation not the other way around. A quick glance back from time to time is part of the gig to avoid situations like this. Neither of those cyclists not once looked back and not having ear pods in can be a life saver that little bit of audible sound from the approach or a vehicle accelerating etc can and will give you that split second that can and will make a difference for the rest of your life. Law or no law , drug or whatever bad driving it doesn't matter try to avoid and not live a life of damage and pain
Why was he not charged with attempted murder?
Jewdicial system allows attacks on cyclists and White People .
That's not a charge in texaa penal code. Intoxication assault and assault deadly weapon carry similar sentencing as attempted murder in other states
The man driving need to go to jail. Too many years.This two guys they lucky
I have been a road cyclist for 30 years and that does not look like a road you should be riding a bike on, especially in the lane itself and not as far right as possible
I also am a long time bike rider and commuter, because my vision is just not good enough to get a license. And, as for the bikers riding on that road. I wouldn't, its too busy and no shoulder or sidewalk even. Plus the bikers should have been riding single file. At least the two who went down where wearing helmets.
What's wrong with that road??? It's paved and properly marked...
How about we put the blame on the guy driving plastered... SMH
".....that does not look like a road you should be riding a bike on." What a stupid thing to say.
Same energy as people who twist themselves into pretzels blaming pedestrians for "accidents" in crosswalks. There is a species of stupidity in this country that believes roads are solely entitled to automobiles AND drivers are justified in teaching those trespassing, on THEIR paved surface, a lesson.
@londonwerewolves So bicyclist have to follow the same exact laws as drivers. Ya think they do? Turning, slowing up traffic…pretty obvious with passing cars they not up to road speed, not pulling to the right of the lane ( shoulder) to allow the flow of traffic..aka passing which is a hazard if a vehicle or bike is slowing traffic they’ll cause a accident. As a bike rider I only access roads to access bike paths…..and I’m aware of and considerate of drivers!
Classic Subaru driver
I would have expected a Nissan, but Subaru would have been a second. 😂
Damnnn That’s exactly why I don’t ride bikes on tha street just use the ones in the gym hell naww😂
This is why I don't let my kid ride his bike outside our small neighborhood.
No blame here but as a cyclist who has almost quit road riding, why on earth are these two riders occupying the entire lane of a four lane divided highway?
it's probably not a highway, but a loop road around the airport. we have that in my area.
I was shocked, until I saw it was texas.
Those Voodoo Ranger beers are 9.5% alcohol. Putting down six of them is crazy
They're CYCLISTS... not "bikers"
True. Unfortunately they ride like they are bikers.
When you wanna comment about how criminals are not held accountable, remember this because I'm sure he's been arrested for DUI before.
I am terribly sorry for this accident and grateful that the victims were not hurt worse. I have never really understood why people enjoy riding their bicycles on a public roadway on which they are sharing a lane of traffic with automobiles. I can’t image how that would be relaxing or enjoyable especially now days with the amount of distracted drivers and what seems to be a complete disregard for the safety and well being of others. That said, the driver of the SUV needs to do time in prison for his actions, not just paying a fine and 6 months of probation. I hope both victims recover quickly and fully. 🙏
My goodness I hope these cyclists are ok. Drink responsibly over non legalization or the flower. I assure you if laws were changed this could never happen. But with alcohol, this is becoming normal. Especially morning binge drinking.
They will put him on probation so he can go out there and do it again
Build the Wall!!!
6 cans of Voodoo Ranger at 9.5 abv is equivalent to 12 cans of Coors light at 4.2 abv, I'm surprised he could even walk.
I’m a bicyclist 63 years old and i just want to say you see the big f ing sidewalk that is where i ride.
There will always be drunk drivers. I ride on neighborhood roads & still get close calls. Texters & drunks.
Alcohol is the drug that will never be put on a DEA controlled Schedule list. There is no number of alcohol related deaths that will cause that to happen. This is and will be the world you live in, for the rest of your life.
This is my chief complaint, I ride in this area and it's a nightmare. Amazing I'm still alive, it's fing horrible!
I love when they first played the video they blurred out the victim getting ran over and then played it again without him being blurred out😂
I stopped riding my bicycle in Jan.2019 after I was ran over, broke my pelvis, crushed my sacrum, 6 months in the hospital..Im disabled now & use a walker & wheelchair & wear diapers..Im 46.😡
This dude's life is gone. American Airline will fire him and definitely he will go to jail for awhile.
Dude might get a year in jail, maybe.
Abbot will pardon him
God blesse u guys , I been ran over on a bike .
Legal or not, when you go cycling on the same road as cars, you're taking a bigger risk. Same as going into bad neighborhoods. Neither is illegal, both are risky.
he should not have been on the road driving drunk,
and they should have been to the far right out of the car lane.
idiots in bikes like to think that they own the road.
Driver will probably get a $100 fine, reduced to $20
A lane with a bike in it is a bike lane!
Oh boy i just got me a shiny new bike for my 50th birthday. Even got me some skin tight booty shorts and a helmet from a 5 year old at a garage sale. Im gonna test it out in the fast lane on north central expressway. Better not run me over its my right. Watch out for bikes
Not that this guy doesn't deserve what he has coming to him,
but so much for those annoying bikers, what did they expect?
Putting down the road in high-speed traffic is asking for it.
Im sorry the drunk hit u. But somehow, I dont understand how a small bike and rider are allowed on the road with 3000 lb vehicles..
permeant loss of driver licence
No defense of the driver intended, but if I was a cyclist I would put LIGHTS on my bicycle (flashing rear light at minimum). Also, mirrors can be a life saver, along with not stopping directly behind another vehicle, risking being 'sandwiched' by a driver from behind. This isn't about cyclists' 'rights', it's about riding defensively. Be proactive!!
Get out of the middle of the road.
Exactly WTF
Àny alcohol in your blood whilst driving should be considered over the legal limit!
Here in France drink-driving would seem to be an Olympic sport!
Most seem quite happy to drive after half a BOTTLE of wine at lunchtime.
Totally empty side walk on the left . That's where i would ride my pedal bike
Let this be a lesson to all cyclists, just because you can doesn't mean you should!!🤦
Let this be a lesson for drivers. You are accountable for driving safely around all vehicles on the road, whether that's slower moving cyclists, horses, farm equipment, or construction equipment. Don't wander aimlessly through life thinking others should watch out for your careless driving.
@@JamesOblak you must be a Democrat 🤣😂
Here where I live they aren’t supposed to go side by side by law
Well there goes any professional career he will ever get.
Those voodoo rangers are strong !!!
Why blur the victim in the run-over at 0:23 but then show the unblurred version at 1:23 and every time thereafter? Why blur the vehicles license plates? Crap news.
OUCH!
So glad to hear the cyclists will be ok!!!
he thought he hit one of them blue speed bumps
😊
Wow praying for you too the Lord tattoo heal you and that they find that drunk driver it's not even right sorry that that happened to you guys
Maybe they will learn something from this, stay off the main streets.
Long,long time In jail would seem right.That's almost attempted murder?
But they want kids to ride their bikes on the road Why? if someone hits you and they're on a bicycle you're not going to die but if someone hits you and you're on a bicycle and it's a car you're probably going to die I don't understand why we can't ride the bikes on the sidewalk.
at least 30 years behind bars! And NEVER been able to drive EVER in HIS F>>>LIFE!
He'll be out on probation
Don't worry, Texas will give him deferred probation, eventhough he deserves prison time!
They hit Billy Bob Thornton lol
Another reason diapers wants you to move to Texas😮
Riding a bike shouldn't be dangerous. We need protected bike lanes.
I ride a bike almost every day (mountain bike) and i always do the best in staying out of the road. Drivers don't care about cyclists
Was a AA cargo worker.😂
PTSD
Yeah they drive this stupid here. Even in the outer regions. Ready to move.
What a animal
Looks like they were in the çar lane.
If Benjamin Hylander is ever found in the driver's seat of a vehicle on public roads again, he should be imprisoned for life. States are WAY TOO permissive of people who don't follow the rules of the road, and prove their bad driving habitually. Shame on him.
Smh riff raff from other states
This state has laws and we will enforce them!
Drunk Driving unacceptable, not on the same level but very stupid is STUPID BIKERS that would put themselves in the path of a multi ton vehicle with distracted drivers from cellphones and large front dash displays. Cellphones and dash displays stupid - stupid - stupid!!!!
attempted vehicular homicide. always check your six. 🍻
I really don't know the answer. I do know that it isn't putting the blame on the courts. This has been going on for years, long before the "i'm a victim" mentality of today. The only answer that I see is to make the punishment so severe that it acts as a deterrant. Just because you are higher in the social order, should not get you special treatment. Imagine that you knew that if something happened, you would go to jail, lose your job, your family would lose the house, your children would suffer and Perry Mason and Ben Matlock together could not get you off. Would you then still take a drink and drive? If so, you have a problem and need to get help. The judges are elected by us. Some are appointed by people we ellect. it will take more than people complaining on youtube to fix this. It starts with us. do not drink and drive.
