Click the photos to enlarge.
An absolutely scary incident, you'd need eyes in your rear end to have avoided this one.
Fortunately neither of the bikers (father and son) were very seriously hurt, it could have been very much worse.

Very scary pics indeed! I guess the bikes must have absorbed most of the impact - but if they were waiting to turn right they've been pushed a long way along the road! Incredible that the driver didn't see them, but I was once rear-ended on the trike in a slow-moving queue of traffic and I couldn't understand how that happened either - just lack of concentration I guess.
The tragedy of old age is not that one is old, but that one is young.
