Indonesia: 18-Year-Old Rider Skids Under a Tanker Truck in the Rain [NSFL]

An 18-year-old motorbike rider loses her grip on a rain-slicked road in Indonesia and skids straight under the wheels of a tanker truck. What’s left behind made the local news within hours.

No video this time, just the photos, and they do not need motion to make the point.

The photo making the rounds is the aftermath, not the crash itself. A police officer in a tan uniform stands watch while someone in gloves crouches close to check on her, and her head rests in a wide pool of fresh blood on the asphalt. The impact has knocked one eye loose from its socket, left resting against her cheek, and a folded white sheet sits nearby. Local reports say she lost the front wheel on the wet pavement and the bike carried her straight under the tanker’s chassis. Indonesia already logs more motorcycle deaths than any country on earth, and rain on top of bad road sense is exactly how that number keeps climbing. There’s no walking away from a slide like that.

What the Thread Said

Nobody in the thread was shocked so much as entertained, which says more about the thread than the crash. The eye became the whole show, with a good chunk of replies comparing it to a Halloween mask since the timing happened to line up with the holiday. A few people were more honest about it, admitting an exposed eyeball is the kind of image that just does not leave your head once you have seen it.

Indonesia’s Road Deaths Are Low, Its Motorcycle Toll Isn’t

The bike in this clip isn’t an outlier, it’s basically the national ride, and that’s exactly why these crashes keep happening.

• 11.3 road deaths per 100,000 people in 2021, actually below the global average of 15
• 78% of all accidents involve a motorcycle, and 81% of deaths are riders
• Indonesia has the highest motorcycle rider death toll of any country, 7th overall in total road deaths
• 84.5% of registered vehicles are motorcycles, about 125.27 million bikes, roughly one for every 2 people
