SOLEDAD, ATLÁNTICO, COLOMBIA – MAY 9, 2026 Random witness recorded a video of the bloody aftermath of a motorcycle accident. The motorcyclist is lying in agony on the asphalt in a pool of blood, gasping for breath with his last strength. He has a seriously injured head and was likely not wearing a helmet. It is not yet clear under what circumstances the accident happened.
If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, forget about filming a video and instead provide first aid. Even if you think there is no way to help the injured person, it is always better to do something than to record a video. A human life is worth fighting for in absolutely every case.
The incident is also a harsh reminder for all motorcyclists. Your life and health are more fragile than you think or want to admit. A helmet should be the basic part of your gear even if you live in a jurisdiction where it is not legally required. Ride carefully, follow traffic rules, and stay safe!
