Taking from an accident in Sweden; The Honda rider was traveling at such a “very high speed”, his reaction time was not sufficient enough to avoid this accident.
Swedish Police estimate a speed of ~250 KM/h (for the U.S. folks, that’s 155mph) before the bike hit the slow moving car side-on at an intersection. At that speed, they predicted that the rider’s reaction time (once the vehicle came into view) wasn’t sufficient enough for him to even apply the brakes.
The car had two passengers and the bike rider was found INSIDE the car with them. The Volkswagen actually flipped over from the force of impact and landed 3m (10 feet) from where the collision took place.
All three involved (two in car and rider) were killed instantly.
