Surveillance video shows a 2019 Honda motorcycle speeding down White Plains Road around 6:50 a.m. on August 11. According to New York Daily News, a black Nissan Maximum had stopped on White Plains Road near Bartholdi Street to make a U-turn. The motorcyclist was unable to stop his bike before crashing into the Nissan’s driver-side door. The rider was ejected from his motorcycle and flew over the car, losing his helmet during the course of the collision. The force from the crash caused the Nissan to slam into a car parked nearby.
