Now that is what you call a near miss…

A cyclist in San Jose, California narrowly avoided being struck by two drivers during a high-speed collision at a junction last week. Fortunately, no one was seriously hurt according to reports.

As you can see in the video, the driver of the Porsche SUV flies through the junction – jumping a red light in the process – before slamming into a silver sedan; the two cars careening across the street and missing the cyclist by inches.

The driver in question was fleeing from police at the time of the incident, after an officer tried to pull him over for speeding shortly before the crash.

According to Santa Cruz County Sherriff’s Office, the Porsche was also reported as stolen by two suspected carjackers in 2020.

While the driver, 53-year-old Carlos Bryand, was not a key suspect in the robbery, he was arrested and charged for possession of a stolen vehicle and reckless driving.

So, a speeding motorist, driving a stolen car, causes a massive crash while he’s fleeing from police – and how does the Daily Star begin its report (link is external) of the incident?

“A cyclist running a red light…”

Of course.

Well, “A cyclist running a red light…” is just so common, isn't it.
