Dramatic footage of a motorcyclist attempting to outrun the police and crashing has re-surfaced some three and a half years after first hitting YouTube.
The video was captured on the helmet-mounted camera of the motorcyclist, who appears to be riding a Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R. It starts off showing the biker doing a wheelie through an intersection before he turns around and notices a police car behind him with its lights flashing. Rather than pulling over, the biker flips the police the middle finger before twisting the throttle and sprinting off into the distance.
For roughly six minutes, the motorcyclist rides, likely going at least three times the speed limit at certain points. Clearly, the biker thought that speed alone would allow him to flee the police – but he was sorely mistaken.

While splitting traffic along a two-lane road, the biker failed to notice a black Dodge Grand Caravan making a left turn and slammed into the side of it, flying up into the air before sliding along the pavement and landing heavily on the grass next to the road.
Roughly a year after first uploading the police chase and crash video online, the YouTuber uploaded a follow-up video to his channel showing the aftermath of the crash. During the clip, the biker can be heard pleading with the owner of the minivan to not call the police after the crash out of fear that he would be arrested and sent to jail for running.
We’re not sure if the biker got in trouble with the authorities in the aftermath of the crash, but we’d be surprise if he didn’t.
