Horrifying.

Edit: My father used to say he thought some people must have been issued driver's licenses from vending machines.

Scary crash but the motorcycle guy does not have clean hands in this one.

It is super scary around here during rush hour with lane splitting being legal. Some guys will just bolt in between you and the guy next to you. I dread the super wide double saddle bag bikes doing this. I am waiting for the inevitable side swipe.

Why? He's just cruising along in the HOV lane, isn't he?

cars fault but didn’t seem like defensive riding. Traffic was backing up and he didnt slow down. Even when the car pulled in front of him he seemed to barely brake(maybe not to lock it up?) Also if he is from LA he should know people cut throught those double lanes all the time.

That was my impression as well. As soon as the cars in the lane inside of his started braking, he should have at least slowed down and limited his closing speed. Still: Camry

Saw one coming home this evening.

Edit: Or perhaps the corners are the only thing intact?

Of course it is a Camry

Probably too soon to joke about it since a few people were hurt, but sounds like they are all stable. Driver claimed the car had a mind of its own and just jumped forward.
