He had a choice when the biker was playing chicken with him before he actually hit anyone.

The NY post showed video of the biker that was originally hit doing a stoppie in front of the RR.

I would have pulled over before hitting someone. 

...and has been already stated...

plenty of bad decision making going on.

yup, but why would i go back and read 6 pages of bickering and phallus grabbing?   

This is what the vehicle driver should have done:  highway sing-along.

or listen to testimony?  

j/k 'Tiz.

Unless the police figure out who the helmet slammers were nothing will ever really come of this...

and no one will ever know anything close to the truth about what really happened.

Sounds like the guy was out with his wife and daughter, celebrating their anniversary.

Sad story.

What a bunch of thugs.

ABC follow up coverage

Arrests being made on the bikers who attacked the RR driver.

"Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said Monday that Lien would not face charges for hitting bikers, including Mieses, as he fled."

Well, thoughts?  Mieses is evidently in critical condition and may be a paraplegic after either helping a fallen biker or being one of the thugs that slashed the RRs tires...

He shouldn't have been on the bike to begin with. Seems like he must be a nice guy though.

arrested this past May:

Arrest: Edwin Mieses Jr., 32, of 478 Riverside Drive, Lawrence, operating a motor vehicle with a revoked license, subsequent offense, Haverhill Street, 1:48 p.m.

I am sure he put the check in the mail to pay the fine. There was probably some mix up at the BMV and he should have had his license. That is always the case. I've heard that story a million times from people with suspended licenses.

Yeah man...criminal traffic offense...obviously that dude deserves to be set on fire. 

I watched it all. The RR driver is still a pos...and so are all the "bikers". Anyone who has to roll with a gang like that is typically a punk. Still not gonna wish fire or death on em.

According to cnn article the rr hit and injured a rider, stopped, and then was surrounded by riders hitting his vehicle and slashing his tires.

Wife and kid in the car? I wouldn't have waited for the cops to show up either.

How the original accident happened I'm sure had nothing to do with the way the group was riding. 

Defending the actions of the riders is insane.

Passenger window and tailgate window smashed. Somebody opening the back door, assuming the kid is in the back, wtf.

Front tire is completely gone. Probably the reason he got off the highway. Also notice several people including what appears to be a bystander with an iPad recording the beating.  make the beast with two backsing sick.

Not shocking, there's some conflicting reports.

ABC reports that Cruz - the brake checker wasn't the one with the broken leg - but a fellow named "Edwin Mieses"

From ABC:
"The SUV's driver, Alexian Lien, was driving northbound on Manhattan's West Side Highway with his wife and child when he was surrounded by motorcyclists on a ride through New York. The bikers slowed down, and Cruz allegedly cut in front of Lien's Range Rover and slowed down abruptly.

Lien's Range Rover then bumped into Cruz's bike. The motorcyclists then began yelling and gesturing at Lien, causing him to take off at a high speed away from the group. As he accelerated, Lien barreled through the group, hitting three bikers, one of whom was hospitalized.

Police said the hospitalized biker, Edwin Mieses, suffered a broken leg, but friends who set up a Facebook page for him said that Mieses was injured more seriously and is in a coma from the accident. "

The second the back door was opened with my kid in the car would be the second someone died.....  No one has a right to endanger a kid in the car or the mans wife.  Good on the cops for putting the bikers in jail.  Sorry for typecasting here but look at the idiots in the picture surrounding the car.  THUGS though and through.

These are little more than street gangs with street bikes.  Toss in the 12:00 boys and it begins to look like a Mad Max movie is being filmed on the streets.  Makes one wonder how far it is going to go.  Clockwork Orange and Mad Max and Idiocracy all rolled into one.  Sad really
