Motorcyclist crash lands in back seat of van; Driver was unaware
VICTORVILLE • Deputies and witnesses were left scratching their heads Thursday after a motorcyclist rear-ended a minivan and landed in the back seat unscathed.
Meanwhile, the driver of the van continued making his turn and pulled into his own driveway nearby, completely unaware that he had a new passenger.
“We’re calling this one a non-injury collision with a twist,” Karen Hunt, spokeswoman for the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Victorville station, said, glad the crash had a happy ending.
Authorities got a call at 3:46 p.m. about a motorcycle crashing into a minivan on Village Drive at Rancho Road, Hunt said.
“Then callers started saying, ‘We don’t know where the rider is,’” Hunt said, afraid he’d slid under the vehicle. “That’s when it started to sound ominous.”
After they got to the scene, deputies pieced together the story.
The driver of the minivan was heading north on Village Drive when he slowed down to turn left on Rancho Road. The motorcyclist following behind him didn’t stop in time and crashed into the rear of the van, shattering the van’s window.
By then, the minivan driver had already committed to the turn and pulled onto his driveway less than half a block away, Hunt said, calling out to his wife that he’d just been rear-ended and needed to get back to the scene.
As he turned around, the man discovered the shocked motorcyclist behind him.
Though there was severe damage to the motorcycle and back of the minivan, Hunt said no charges were filed in the case and neither of the men required any medical attention.
“The helmet sustained most of the impact,” Hunt said, with the motorcyclist only asking for an ice pack for one of his hands.
