This just seems intentional. He ran into them at high speed, slowed down a bit, then crushed a guy under his wheels, then drove off. This sociopath belongs in jail.
The guy was not crushed . Bike took most of the weight.
@@seniormale Are you suggesting the driver drove over the bicyclist with knowledge that the bicycle would happen to take most of the weight of the vehicle? The pedantry of you people defending this idiotic driver is incredible.
Why would they risk their lives like that on those bicycles...
Nonsensical . I just pointed out that the biker wasn't crushed because the bike took most of the weight.
We've all wanted to tell them to get the fuq out the way....just saying.
The driver accelerated and swerved to hit both cyclists. Evil monster.
ok so? bikers ffault anyway
Guy has a healthy disposition.
Wish both riders fast recovery.
After being arrested, he still tried to go after the injured victims. This was no accident.
@Matterian They said on the video that he had to be held back by the police while the victims were being treated by EMS.
True, but it doesn't take a genius to figure out riding a bike in the middle of a street isn't the smartest thing to do.
@@miket7184 There is nowhere on that road that would have been safe from that driver.
@@miket7184 it is completely legal to ride a bike on a road. You had to know this when you took your exam for your driver's license.
@@JamesOblak It's not legal to impede the flow of traffic. That's what the side of the road is for.
As some who works in the roads of dallas, I would not recommend anyone who rides bikes as a hobby do so in the roads 😢
Unfortunately, it's the same in practically every major metropolitan area, even areas that are supposedly bicycle friendly, but where else are groups of bicyclists supposed to ride?
@@jormugand5578 Fortunately, I live in an area where there are extensive bike-only trails available. I would never drive on any street with cars because of how insane people drive today. Not safe at all.
@@jormugand5578 on a bike trail? And not a road with high traffic 🙄
@@paulencisoright on! Correct answer
@@paulenciso roads aren't just for cars
Some of these comments … we have a lot of dumb people out there.
can confirm
Dumb and vile, a deadly combo.
You must be at the top😂
@@seniormale Nope just a lot of senior males. Tard.
They must’ve come from Twitter, every comment there defends the drunk driver and even implying that cyclists should be ran over for legally riding their bikes on the road. Smh 😔
This is attempted murder
Luckily there wasn't a car behind the one they were struck by...
He should be charged with attempted murder...
hitting them was aggravated assault. running over the man was ATTEMPTED MURDER
How can you prove that counselor? Please share with us your law degree and years of practice.
Texas penal code doesn't have attempted murder. Aggravated assault is the highest penalty for this offense. Look it up
Biking on US roads are very Dangerous!
Guess you've never seen a Russian dash cam video, or most any third world country driving video... SMH
Especially dangerous, when you don't even try to ride out of the way of fast moving traffic.
@@MaxZomboni What a moronic comment... The guy was EFFING DRUNK!!!
@@ffjsb one bad doesn't make another bad magically better...
@@oliveryt7168 You're comparing apples to a bag of hammers. The US has SIX times as many vehicles on the road as Russia does, yet Russia has TWICE the per capita death rate for vehicular accidents. You clearly don't know what you're talking about.
They blurred the first video but when they showed the same video a minute later it wasn’t blurred. Lol. Weird editing.
Here's a possible explanation. The first time you see the video, you don't know his fate. The second time, you have by then seen the cyclist walking around and talking about the accident, so you know he is basically ok. The editorial decision could have been that you are more prepared to see the unblurred video.
@@patrickalewis That sounds right
Why was he not charged with attempted murder?
Jewdicial system allows attacks on cyclists and White People .
That's not a charge in texaa penal code. Intoxication assault and assault deadly weapon carry similar sentencing as attempted murder in other states
A friend of Justin Timberlake no doubt !
😂
Bringing tipsy back
And justin trudeau 😂
Keep him in jail
6 Juice Force at 9% abv and 2 Coors light. That's an insane level of intoxication and he went out of his way to hit them. Keep him off the roads!
Why doesn’t Dallas have cycling lanes for bike riders? 🤔
Dallas is in Texas which is the center of the US oil/gas industry. The government of Dallas and Texas knows who they are beholden to. Even cities with cycling lanes aren't safe with drivers constantly disregarding bicyclists - driving into the bike lane to make a turn without checking for cyclists, double-parking in the bike lane thereby forcing bicyclists into street traffic, etc.
@@jormugand5578 Cycling lanes should not be on major roads. Some residential streets sure, but the US has so much space. They could build separated bike lanes, through back allies, fields, abandoned tracks, under power lines, all over the place, and connect them all with underpasses, bridges, etc. Many people like me would use them all the time reducing both cars and bikes on the road. A win win for all.
There is one really fantastic bike path from Hillcrest Rd. and 635 to White Rock Lake. It's absolutely fantastic, follows a river, a lake, has under passes, over passes, forests, parks, and completely separated from road traffic. It was built more than 30 years ago. It's sad they did not continue it. By now it could heave covered the whole city.
It does, the right lane... SMH. There's TWO lanes there, absolutely NO REASON for a bike lane.
We don't say here in Europe: ''Is this Texas?'' to refer to something as if an anarchy for no reason.
I done did learned over 55 years ago to stay out of the way of cars. I did never get hit by car and never wore a helmet and still alive. Where I live it is illegal to ride a bike on a road like that unless going the same speed as traffic. Stay to right.
Anyone who drives on north airfield road a few times knows there are a lot of cyclists on it. Most riders are considerate and follow proper rules and etiquette
I've genuinely never seen people so upset at someone riding a bicycle. Not much concern about people in multi ton vehicles who don't have to put much effort into getting to a high speed.
No defense of the driver intended, but if I was a cyclist I would put LIGHTS on my bicycle (flashing rear light at minimum). Also, mirrors can be a life saver, along with not stopping directly behind another vehicle, risking being 'sandwiched' by a driver from behind. This isn't about cyclists' 'rights', it's about riding defensively. Be proactive!!
Let this be a lesson to all cyclists, just because you can doesn't mean you should!!🤦
Let this be a lesson for drivers. You are accountable for driving safely around all vehicles on the road, whether that's slower moving cyclists, horses, farm equipment, or construction equipment. Don't wander aimlessly through life thinking others should watch out for your careless driving.
@@JamesOblak you must be a Democrat 🤣😂
As an avid cyclist, this is the exact reason I refuse to cycle on streets. Yes, I will absolutely get the ticket for riding on sidewalks. However, in 35 years of cycling I have never received a citation for being on the sidewalk. I have been stopped by police and had discussions, but the officers always agree. Safer on the sidewalks. People today are just as likely to run over me as they were 35 years ago. My bike stands no chance against a car. My life is too important to challenge cars on a street. If there are no sidewalks I avoid that route.
I have been a road cyclist for 30 years and that does not look like a road you should be riding a bike on, especially in the lane itself and not as far right as possible
I also am a long time bike rider and commuter, because my vision is just not good enough to get a license. And, as for the bikers riding on that road. I wouldn't, its too busy and no shoulder or sidewalk even. Plus the bikers should have been riding single file. At least the two who went down where wearing helmets.
What's wrong with that road??? It's paved and properly marked...
How about we put the blame on the guy driving plastered... SMH
".....that does not look like a road you should be riding a bike on." What a stupid thing to say.
Same energy as people who twist themselves into pretzels blaming pedestrians for "accidents" in crosswalks. There is a species of stupidity in this country that believes roads are solely entitled to automobiles AND drivers are justified in teaching those trespassing, on THEIR paved surface, a lesson.
@londonwerewolves So bicyclist have to follow the same exact laws as drivers. Ya think they do? Turning, slowing up traffic…pretty obvious with passing cars they not up to road speed, not pulling to the right of the lane ( shoulder) to allow the flow of traffic..aka passing which is a hazard if a vehicle or bike is slowing traffic they’ll cause a accident. As a bike rider I only access roads to access bike paths…..and I’m aware of and considerate of drivers!
This is why I don't let my kid ride his bike outside our small neighborhood.
Texting and driving drunk
I am terribly sorry for this accident and grateful that the victims were not hurt worse. I have never really understood why people enjoy riding their bicycles on a public roadway on which they are sharing a lane of traffic with automobiles. I can’t image how that would be relaxing or enjoyable especially now days with the amount of distracted drivers and what seems to be a complete disregard for the safety and well being of others. That said, the driver of the SUV needs to do time in prison for his actions, not just paying a fine and 6 months of probation. I hope both victims recover quickly and fully. 🙏
Why you always keep a check on your rear view mirrors while operating any vehicle.
So he got aggravated assault but not attempted murder??
permeant loss of driver licence
Legal or not, when you go cycling on the same road as cars, you're taking a bigger risk. Same as going into bad neighborhoods. Neither is illegal, both are risky.
Not that this guy doesn't deserve what he has coming to him,
but so much for those annoying bikers, what did they expect?
Putting down the road in high-speed traffic is asking for it.
Those Voodoo Ranger beers are 9.5% alcohol. Putting down six of them is crazy
There will always be drunk drivers. I ride on neighborhood roads & still get close calls. Texters & drunks.
Alcohol is the drug that will never be put on a DEA controlled Schedule list. There is no number of alcohol related deaths that will cause that to happen. This is and will be the world you live in, for the rest of your life.
I stopped riding my bicycle in Jan.2019 after I was ran over, broke my pelvis, crushed my sacrum, 6 months in the hospital..Im disabled now & use a walker & wheelchair & wear diapers..Im 46.😡
he thought he hit one of them blue speed bumps
😊
he should not have been on the road driving drunk,
and they should have been to the far right out of the car lane.
idiots in bikes like to think that they own the road.
My goodness I hope these cyclists are ok. Drink responsibly over non legalization or the flower. I assure you if laws were changed this could never happen. But with alcohol, this is becoming normal. Especially morning binge drinking.
When I was little kid, I kinda knew that I'm taking a risk when I'm riding a bike on road with cars. In no way shape or form I'm siding with the driver but no insurance or Law Enforcement will ever get you back to 100% or save you from death!! BE CAREFUL Out there!!
Just stay off that damn road. Find a road with less traffic, and a good shoulder.
Get out of the middle of the road.
Exactly WTF
Riding a bike shouldn't be dangerous. We need protected bike lanes.
Why the bike riders have to ride double in the right lane is beyond me. The speed is 45 and they are doing 15 to 20 mph taking up the whole lane. Single file on the right side of the road might be smarter. I wouldn't be riding a bicycle on the roads around DFW, too dangerous.
Why were the cyclists in the middle of the road!!! Sad that they were hit, but if they were on the side of the road I think the outcome would have been different. I'm a cyclist and would never ride in the road like that!!! Now I only ride in designated bike lanes and don't endanger others (I'm not going to flirt with a 2000lbs vehicle). As for the dui driver, I hope he is charged to the fullest extent of the law!
1) because they have the right to control their lane from wherever they wish, same as a car or motorcycle; and they were riding in a group and
2) when people ride on the side of the road, impatient people try to brush past them without waiting for a gap in opposing traffic to pass them with legitimately and then sideswipe them knocking them down anyway. This way cars have to actually "pass", although obviously with a homicidal maniac like this guy behind them there is no safe place anywhere on the road and someone in the front of the group should carry an RPG or PIAT to level the playing field some.
Also, youd be hard pressed to find a vehicle in the US made in the last 20 years that was much less than 3,000#. And the average is prolly closer to 4,000 with all the pickups and SUVs.
They will put him on probation so he can go out there and do it again
Here where I live they aren’t supposed to go side by side by law
Classic Subaru driver
I would have expected a Nissan, but Subaru would have been a second. 😂
Well there goes any professional career he will ever get.
at least 30 years behind bars! And NEVER been able to drive EVER in HIS F>>>LIFE!
But they want kids to ride their bikes on the road Why? if someone hits you and they're on a bicycle you're not going to die but if someone hits you and you're on a bicycle and it's a car you're probably going to die I don't understand why we can't ride the bikes on the sidewalk.
I really don't know the answer. I do know that it isn't putting the blame on the courts. This has been going on for years, long before the "i'm a victim" mentality of today. The only answer that I see is to make the punishment so severe that it acts as a deterrant. Just because you are higher in the social order, should not get you special treatment. Imagine that you knew that if something happened, you would go to jail, lose your job, your family would lose the house, your children would suffer and Perry Mason and Ben Matlock together could not get you off. Would you then still take a drink and drive? If so, you have a problem and need to get help. The judges are elected by us. Some are appointed by people we ellect. it will take more than people complaining on youtube to fix this. It starts with us. do not drink and drive.
I’m a bicyclist 63 years old and i just want to say you see the big f ing sidewalk that is where i ride.
So glad to hear the cyclists will be ok!!!
I love when they first played the video they blurred out the victim getting ran over and then played it again without him being blurred out😂
That's what you get for riding your bike in the road. Adults shouldn't be riding bicycles anyway. grow up
I ride a bike almost every day (mountain bike) and i always do the best in staying out of the road. Drivers don't care about cyclists
Maybe they will learn something from this, stay off the main streets.
He'll be out on probation
This dude's life is gone. American Airline will fire him and definitely he will go to jail for awhile.
Benjamin is innocent. Who rides bikes around an airport. Get real. The road is for fking cars.
The drunk driver is innocent..? lol
Smh riff raff from other states
This state has laws and we will enforce them!
What makes people think they can ride next to cars , im sure empty roads exist
Probably because they are legally allowed to ride in the road. In fact they are also legally allowed to take the lane for their safety as they did here. Good job victim blaming.
@@TandAwanderingslegal, yet zero sence of self preservation...😂😂
Why are the cyclists blocking the entire lane?
It seems like they wanted to get hit.
I know this is supposedly safer for them. But the video proves other wise. If they had been riding single file near the curb the chances are they wouldn't have even been hit. But even if they were, they would have just been grazed and probably knocked off onto the grass, and not run over.
Build the Wall!!!
If it'd been a black man driving we wouldn't have seen a mugshot of him.
Haha bs and you know it
I was shocked, until I saw it was texas.
Those voodoo rangers are strong !!!
It's never weed, it's always alcohol but you can buy alcohol everywhere and weed is illegal in texas
Stoned drivers get dwis as well
Àny alcohol in your blood whilst driving should be considered over the legal limit!
Here in France drink-driving would seem to be an Olympic sport!
Most seem quite happy to drive after half a BOTTLE of wine at lunchtime.
People who ride their bikes in traffic are fools and sometimes become roadkill.
Oh boy i just got me a shiny new bike for my 50th birthday. Even got me some skin tight booty shorts and a helmet from a 5 year old at a garage sale. Im gonna test it out in the fast lane on north central expressway. Better not run me over its my right. Watch out for bikes
Long,long time In jail would seem right.That's almost attempted murder?
What a animal
Why blur the victim in the run-over at 0:23 but then show the unblurred version at 1:23 and every time thereafter? Why blur the vehicles license plates? Crap news.
I will say.... WTF are bicyclists doing at a major airport for a major city on a Monday evening? Is that not the worst darn place to ride their stupid bikes! This sort of thing should be illegal!
It's nowhere near as dangerous as someone driving a vehicle while under the influence of *8 BEERS*. Reconsider your priorities. That driver could have just as easily smashed into a pedestrian at a crosswalk, or another car and led to injury or death.
Hey do dumb things win dumb prizes. Please feel free to ride a bike a 6pm on a week night next to a major airport. You know when the biz guy is trying to make his flight while riding your dumb bike in the passing lane! These behaviors by cycling folks is the reason people stop caring about stupid f'ing people that think the world revolves around their dumb hobby.
This is not the road people use to access the airport. It's a very low-traffic road used by airport employees and local people. I've seen cyclists there a million times, it's a popular road to cycle on. There's plenty of room and visibility, and the only reason there was an accident is the idiot driver was drunk.
@@Big_Tex sure didn't look all that unbusy in the video....
@@BrStu-t3l Aside from the bikes, you saw two SUVs as far as you could see on the road, that was it. You think two cars on a stretch of road is busy? And in fact it's unusual for two cars even to be near enough to be abreast of each other on that road, I've seldom experienced that.
Yeah they drive this stupid here. Even in the outer regions. Ready to move.
Unfortunately, the bike riders were not following the rules of the road.
How so? As far as I can tell, they were. While riding as a group they were riding no more than two abreast and taking only a single lane, they left the left lane to automobiles to pass them.
Consuming 8 beers and then getting behind the wheel is an example of not following the rules of the road. Jeez, some of you people.
Anyone notice they have absolutely no safety equipment on their bikes….rear view mirror, lights nothing at all! Sorry, but they’re playing with fire.
Dude might get a year in jail, maybe.
Abbot will pardon him

Attempted murder
attempted vehicular homicide. always check your six. 🍻
Was a AA cargo worker.😂
OUCH!
USUAL SUSPECT 🍞 They have such a rich "culture" eh
. .lol I'm with you brother.
What do they expect? They’re riding their bicycles in the road instead of on the sidewalk. We tell our children don’t ride your bikes in the road. You’ll get run over, but I guess some adults are not very bright.
goofball
6 empty Voodoo Ranger Juice Force 9.5% abv oh he was DRUNK DRUNK
Maybe he new them😢
If Benjamin Hylander is ever found in the driver's seat of a vehicle on public roads again, he should be imprisoned for life. States are WAY TOO permissive of people who don't follow the rules of the road, and prove their bad driving habitually. Shame on him.
once recovered, the cyclist plans to go play in traffic again
And they have no safety equipment on those bikes…no lights, rear view mirrors…..nothing!
Another reason diapers wants you to move to Texas😮
Please stop clogging up the roads around the airport with your stupid hobby.
- Everybody in D/FW
Don’t ride your bicycles in the middle of the traffic lane. It is NOT safer. If they had been riding single file near the curb the chances are they wouldn't have even been hit. But even if they were, they would have just been grazed and probably knocked off onto the grass, and not run over. And riding a circuit around a busy airport is the best place they could find to ride? Seriously? Take responsibility for your own safety. Don’t ride in dangerous places. Such as in the middle of a traffic lane filled with high speed motor vehicle traffic traffic.
they would've been hit anyway, because the guy was trying to hit them.
@@gibbsm The police do not agree with you or he would have been charged with attempted murder, not aggravated assault. The facts are that there was a good amount of space between the drunk driver's car and the curve. If they were riding single file as close to the curve as possible, there would have been no collision. Encountering wacko cyclists riding in the middle of high speed traffic lanes like that is every driver's worst nightmare. Just about a week ago I was driving in the right lane just after sunrise. The sunlight was not yet hitting the road surface so it was pretty dark. The car in front of me suddenly moved to the left lane. I thought it was because the right lane was ending soon. But then I spotted a cyclists riding in the middle of the lane with no lights of any kind. I swerved to the left lane with about 50 feet to spare. Fortunately for the cyclists I was not drunk or distracted, or he would be dead. Because I was driving about 55 mph. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes, and riding a bike in front of high speed motor vehicle traffic is just plane stupid.
@@MaxZomboni this guy did it on purpose.
@@gibbsm That is your opinion. The police do not agree with you.
@@MaxZomboni I only care what the law agrees with, not the cops.
Damnnn That’s exactly why I don’t ride bikes on tha street just use the ones in the gym hell naww😂
If you get hit inside the gym , people will blame you.
If a electric bike that goes much faster is banned on roads, why are these slow cyclist allowed? Entitlement might end up to be retirement.. permanently.
Bicyclist in the interview thought spandex was steel and sadly relishing his camera time.
No one on a Bicycle thinks this, you become acutely aware of how fragile and exposed you are but Bike riding is also fun and recreational for many.
🤣 Good one!
W H I T E !!!... Have the most DUIs.
Yeah, no "Usual suspects" comments on this one. They never comment when the criminals are white... I wonder why? Maybe because they are biased, bigoted and racist and go looking for reasons to support their ideology.
😂😂😂😂😂.
Defective farm equipment says what?
They also lead statistically in engaging in inappropriate ways with the youth
Alcohol is very dangerous, so is riding in lanes like you're a vehicle. Whether it's permitted or not, you are responsible for your own safety, is it really worth it? And I'm a cyclist.
The guy is clearing lying. He says he doesn’t remember then says he remembers everything. Complete BS.
