This gives new meaning to the phrase "ride like they are trying to kill you."

Suddenly, joking about things like this is not funny anymore.

May 09, 2005 02:52 pm Actually, as it stands right now (in the investigation)... the guy was drunk and decided it would be fun to mow over bikers. it was a concious decision to do so.
May 09, 2005 02:57 pm Did anyone die? Geez, that was a hard hit. They should get him on multiple counts of attempting murder.
May 09, 2005 03:04 pm Ugh, that makes it even worse, and makes me even more angry that some dipshit would try that.
May 09, 2005 03:08 pm MEXICO CITY (Hollywood Reporter) - Mexican television actor Edgar Ponce died Thursday after a car plowed into a motorcycle he was riding during the unauthorized filming of an advertisement.
Ponce, who has appeared on numerous telenovelas, died early Thursday morning in a Mexico City hospital; three other actors, also riding motorcycles at the time, sustained injuries. The accident occurred during the filming of an advertisement for "Solo Para Mujeres" (For Women Only), a live male striptease show. The ad was to air on Televisa variety show "No Manches."
According to a statement released from the Mexico City police department, the shoot took place on a main artery in southern Mexico City. The police report said a speeding vehicle slammed into a caravan of moving motorcycles used for the plug. Producer Sergio Mayer "did not request police assistance" for the filming, the department said.
A spokesman at Mexico City's attorney general's office said the driver had alcohol on his breath yet it still hasn't been determined if he had passed the legal limit. He added that the driver and the producer could be held responsible for the actor's death.
Mayer acknowledged at a Thursday press conference that he did not have permission to film and said that Televisa had nothing to do with the production. Televisa declined comment.

May 09, 2005 04:41 pm That's terrible .
I've been in alot of bike wrecks, but nothing that compares to that ! Poor guys never seen it comin' .
May 10, 2005 08:15 am The producer could be held responsible? Guess because they didn't get permission to film there in the first place? That doesn't sound right, the producer didn't have control of what a drunk driver does. He "did not request police assistance" for the filming. Well, who knew that a drunk driver was going to come through!
May 10, 2005 08:45 am If you read the artical... you will see that the driver probably was not drunk.

May 10, 2005 08:51 am Ohhhh, so possibly, the driver was going through there like normal. All the motorcycles were going through there really slow to shoot the commercial and since the producer didn't get police to escort them while filming, it was his fault for not being safe and causing all this.
Makes sense if that is what happened.
May 10, 2005 08:58 am The "legal limit" is not always relevent, it's whether impaired or not, some people handle things like alchohol better than others. I know a couple people that can drink two cans of beer and just go friggin insane...others that can hammer down a bottle of Jim Beam and you can hardly tell...
May 10, 2005 09:12 am Correct...its all aboot metabolisim.
I say - ban ALL drink and driving..then there is nae **** and stupidity. If ye have drunk - ye just dont drive. WHY SHOULD YE! Just take a taxi and be done with it. The pricee of a few beers pays the taxi...if ye canny afford it I say the drunk/drinking drivers should ask themselves if they fancy the alternative i.e. being a MURDERER for the sake of havin a beer and drivin!
GRR...canny stand drinking/driving at ALL!

Again, no. As you can see from the background traffic and the speed of the car to their left, they are actually traveling slightly over the speed of the traffic around them. They are starting to slowly overtake the vehicle beside them.
The car who smashed into them was definitly OVER the speed limit by a considerable amount.
The reason the producer is being blamed is because they feel that the bikes should not have been there in the first place. Crappy logic, if you ask me. I think they just need someone to blame... the producer has money, and the dude that hit them most likely does not.
May 10, 2005 10:15 am There is no way the producer should be held accountable for anything occasioning death. (Though he will no doubt)
The driver of the car should just be hanged by his scrotum in a public rock throwing arena.
or possably drawn and quarted by 4 motorcyclists.

regardless if it was unauthorized and no helmets on the freeway this was wrong of the driver. right after the accident camera men were filming the drivers reactions. instead of getting on the phone to call an ambulance or seeking help to the injured, he called a friend or brother saysing VERY calmly with NO feelings "yeah I just got in an accident, well the motorcycles were taking up the THREE lanes".
never went to see the victom nor did he gives a ratzass. people in mexico city drive like maniacs. if you ride a bike you practically get driven off the road... I know cause I USED to ride one here in cancun.
his statements prove that he saw the motorcycles and just plowed through them on purpose. didnt even attempt to slow down or honk. after further investigations of the video they can pretty much prove that the ONLY reason he turned away from the front of the pack was because one of the bikes he hit went under the car and luckily forced his steering wheel to go the oppossite direction. he would have went through the entire pack!!!
now hes out on bail. and mach my words..... he will be freed. he will just claim he didnt see them and hang on the fact that the bikes should have not been there in the first place with no helmets. the govenment will just say, "this is why riding with no helmets on the freeway is not permitted".
regarless.... this WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT. it was intentional!!! cold blooded MURDER!!!
If the driver gets out free it will be so disapointing. he needs to go to jail. here they have a saying "el que pega, paga" "whoever hits, pays". we will see if thats true. in the states if you nail someone from behind its always the the "hitters" fault, UNLESS its some extaudinary case. But in general thats the way it is.
I repeat this was no accident... its like walking into a bar and seeing someone under 21 and walking up to him and shooting him in the head point blank and killing them. then saying well he should have not been in here in the first place.
but we see many cases that we just cant understand why they turned out how they did. this happends alot in mexico..... well for that matter also in the states, you just gotta love the guy who was robbing a house and slipped and hurt himself, sued the home owners and won.
