The rider who collided with him also crashed. He removed the license plate from his motorcycle and was then picked up by the other motorcycle and fled the scene, leaving behind an injured passenger in the sidecar. A citizen witnessed the incident and wrote down the license plate numbers of both motorcycles before the riders fled.
