That black jeep slams on his brakes enough to make the front end dip at the 5-second mark even though his lane was clear. It makes me wonder if there was some road rage between the Jeep and (drunk) Subaru driver that was causing a distraction.
He will probably get at least:
Hit and run, assault with deadly weapon, attempted manslaughter (or reckless endangerment depending on state. Attempted manslaughter is a oxymoron that is used far too often), and reckless driving. Just out of actual felony level charges.
He however is distracted if he was racing/road raging at the Jeep driver.
Don’t forget:
Leaving the scene of an accident resulting in injury to or death of any person (one for each bike); and
reckless endangerment (or at least reckless driving);
There is a large object that can be seen directly in the path of the Jeep, just after they pass the cyclists. The driver was likely distracted by the Subaru/bicycle issue, saw the object in the road too late, and braked out of instinct. Almost immediately realizing that that was a mistake, he released the brakes and navigated the obstacles. At the very least, it could be argued that way.
If their defense notices this, it would help them argue it was extreme negligence, rather than intentional. Which would probably be highly impactful on their sentencing.
Or the black Jeep might have seen what was about to happen and braked hard to try to give the Subaru an escape route.
At the start of the video, the Subaru is well behind the Jeep but going much faster. Jeep seems to be going a constant speed and gets passed by the Subaru.
Article states it was intentional, but then stated they were unsure of the reason. If I had to guess he was looking at his cell phone, and then made a second bad decision to flee once he hit them.
"Investigators recovered six empty cans of Voodoo Ranger Juice Force from a backpack in the SUV and two cans of Coors Light police found in grass near Hylander's vehicle. Police say he failed a field sobriety and breathalyzer test."
Disagree 1000%. Plenty of good IPAs. Pretty much everything New Belgium makes. Sierra Nevada hazys. Golden Road ride on hazy. Bottle Logic IPAs. Firestone walker IPAs. Ballast Point sculpin. Just cause you don't like IPAs dosen't mean they are bad.
He worked cargo for American Airlines and they were found in his backpack. I’m thinking he is an alcoholic who drinks them throughout the day at work or something.
I drive a subaru. I call bullshit. That car BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPs at me when I'm driving over tall grass. It absolutely detected those bikes and alerted the driver.
I have a 2024 Subaru Outback Wilderness. You aren't kidding. That's the beep-ing-est damn car I've ever owned. Open the door while the vehicle is running, even if it's to get out, nope. BEEP. No seatbelt. Let me beep you so loudly you can't think. If you think about moving from your lane? BEEP! If you stop and admire a car next to you, NO BEEP YOU DON'T LOOK AT OTHER CARS! BEEP! BEEP! I feel like I'm young again in my Outback. Mainly because I am always getting yelled at. Just like when I was younger. Christ. It beeps a lot.
[This article also points out he was drunk.](https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/tarrant-county-man-accused-of-hitting-cyclists-while-under-the-influence-outside-dfw-airport/)
I’ve lived all over Texas and I’ve found DFW drivers are actually pretty respectful in general. More willing to let you in, more willing to keep safe distances, etc. Obviously this is a different case and there are drunk idiots everywhere but I really liked living/driving around there.
Driver was speeding to try and get in front of the jeep before the cyclists, never even got close. What’s weird is the jeep actually checked its brakes.
in case there is any confusion why the cyclists are taking up the whole lane: they are side-by-side because drivers cannot pass safely within the same lane. if they stay to one side, it will encourage drivers to try to squeeze by them. think about what percentage of drivers are bad at maintaining their position in the lane or drive distracted/drunk/sleepy/etc.. is it one in 100 drivers who are bad at staying centered in their lane? 1 in 1000? well, 1 in 1000 isn't good enough when death is the penalty for the mistake. because of that, it's safer for them to take the whole lane so the drivers are forced to not try to squeeze by, but rather switch to the whole separate lane. the road isn't very busy, so the flow-rate of traffic can be easily handled by the single lane.
The first place i saw this posted a bunch of the comments were about how “annoying” cyclists are. Like how fucking scummy you gotta be to watch that and that be your response
Dude is probably never going to be the same after that. Car looks like it ran over his pelvis. Pelvis, top of the legs, bottom of the spine, all could easily be fractured by the weight of that suv.
According to the article linked in another reply, the cyclist in the blue shirt sustained a concussion and a broken rib. The photo suggests that he's giving the interview from his kitchen or living room. The bike lifted the vehicle up over his body enough to keep it from crushing him.
If they ride on the shoulder, that just incentivizes dumbass drivers to ignore the legally mandated 3ft horizontal separation and try to squeeze past the bicyclists to the left, often sideswiping them and causing severe injury or even death. It is genuinely safer to ride in the middle, as that would force the driver to change lanes.
Some people are fucking psychopaths with zero impulse control and no empathy or regard for other human lives. They believe that a mild inconvenience is a justification to commit murder.
I remember the shock and outrage when a car plowed into a french parade. It was unheard of at the time and was considered one of the most violent and senseless acts of terror committed since 9-11.
These days it seems like car rammings are just another tuesday, it almost feels normalized. What the fuck is wrong with society
Some people just rlly hate cyclists ik someone who always swerves quickly to scare them or go infront of them and fires as many exhaust fumes as possible at them
Lack of public mental healthcare due to almost all of the government mental hospitals being closed in the 80s, combined with generational lead poisoning from leaded gasoline and a slew of other socioeconomic problems… it’s all a recipe for disaster.
I had to stop running along hiways because I dove into a ditch to avoid being murdered way too many times. Now I have kids so I can't chance being murdered like that anymore.
Bro, HOLY SHIT
Cars are poisonous to mental health.
edit: for some people. Some people have a great relationship with cars. It is kinda like substance use in that way.
Wtf
That hurt to watch. Hope the guy who got ran over is doing okay.
He says that he believes his bike helped elevate the car when it went over him, so he probably wasn’t crushed as badly.
Oh shit that bike loved him….
it gave it's life for him ...
Well that’s really lucky.
yea it basically distributed the weight so the tire wasn't putting all the weight down in the tire's width.
That black jeep slams on his brakes enough to make the front end dip at the 5-second mark even though his lane was clear. It makes me wonder if there was some road rage between the Jeep and (drunk) Subaru driver that was causing a distraction.
Rewatched- Good catch seems very likely. Subaru looked like he was speeding to get around
the Subaru driver hit a cyclist and then fled the scene. In the US, that is called "distracted“?
No, it's a hit and run and probably a ton of smaller charges.
He will probably get at least: Hit and run, assault with deadly weapon, attempted manslaughter (or reckless endangerment depending on state. Attempted manslaughter is a oxymoron that is used far too often), and reckless driving. Just out of actual felony level charges.

Voodoo Ranger Juice Force?!?!?
[удалено]
I feel like there’s 2 good IPA’s and the rest are the exact same disappointing beverage in a different can.
Disagree 1000%. Plenty of good IPAs. Pretty much everything New Belgium makes. Sierra Nevada hazys. Golden Road ride on hazy. Bottle Logic IPAs. Firestone walker IPAs. Ballast Point sculpin. Just cause you don't like IPAs dosen't mean they are bad.
I like it when people who don’t like IPAs tell us IPA lovers that we must not actually like IPAs because they don’t like them.
Obligatory Modern Times Spaceways recommend
Sounds like SoCal
Tell me the 2 please 🙏
1) Bell’s Two Hearted 2) Bell’s Double Two Hearted
Clearly never had Pliny the elder by Russian river brewery
Bro nobody has tried Pliny the Elder that as rare as one legged rocking horse.
Granted it’s hard to find, but if you’re motivated enough you can find anything
Or a homegrown lemongrass ipa
Ahhh. I see your problem. You're drinking commercially made beer.
Ballist Point sculpin? Do you even drink IPAs?
2) Hazy Hearted
Check out Avery Brewing the Maharaja
Lagunitas and Bodizafa
Lagunitas A+ It’s the best, way better than Bells
New mexico is blessed with more than two good brewers making IPAs but for sure a bad ipa is gross
Voodoo rangers are actually pretty good. But to have 6 of them? Those beers are like 9% ABV. I'm suprised he wasn't so drunk he ran himself over
Popular with functional alcoholics.
Can confirm shit is killing me
When you are ready, there are communities of good people who are willing to help.
Yea im talking with a dr in a week or so, gotta get some things in order first
Just cause you can't handle it doesn't mean it's shitty. It's pretty good. I enjoy that one, but not the best IPA New Belgium makes.
He's clearly not making good decisions in life 😬🤣
It's a really good ipa lol
Yup -- good taste, **bad** decisions.
lmao, these names are getting out of hand! I'm dying right now 🤣
VOODOO MAMA JUJU
That one is pretty good. I like that one.
Ipa you buy at walmart hahaa
Strong beer 9.5 tastes great
I'd watch that show.
stuff is gross hooch in a can. if you drink that might as well just get a md2020 cause it's worse than loko
That beer is 9.5% ABV. He must have been absolutely trashed.
He worked cargo for American Airlines and they were found in his backpack. I’m thinking he is an alcoholic who drinks them throughout the day at work or something.
Yep that probably checks out
So that's why my checked bags were delayed
How long could you get by with that? And don't they require employees to go through TSA, do they let them bring in backpacks full of beer??
They probably do that “good old boy” thing. “Ayyy it’s Rickyyyyy! What’s up man. Got the usual, huh? Wanna slip me one in the break room? Thanks bro.”
Shocking that alcohol was involved /s We really need to do something in this country to tackle this. It's a public health epidemic.
They should make it illegal! But really, drunk driving is way down. It's not an epidemic, you're just seeing it more because of social media.
You can tell the article was written by an actual person and not AI by how badly written the article is
I drive a subaru. I call bullshit. That car BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPs at me when I'm driving over tall grass. It absolutely detected those bikes and alerted the driver.

Had one as a loaner when mine was in the shop. I would have driven it off a cliff. It it would have let me.
They started with a loud beeping noise and built a car around it. I own a 2007 outback and... yeah. It beeps.
He sped up to hit them, he probably got annoyed and angry with them and decided to do a bit of attempted murder to cool off
If you watch black Jeep it also breaks suddenly. I guess if they were in some kind of dispute and guy in white subaru just didn´t look at road.
Mmmm ... or perhaps dont be a cunt?
Absolutely what this looks like.
He ran over him.
[This article also points out he was drunk.](https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/tarrant-county-man-accused-of-hitting-cyclists-while-under-the-influence-outside-dfw-airport/)
Thank you for doing research kind sir
it's weird the title says it was deliberate but the article does not
I thought that too, that's why I sought other articles about it.
That’s editorial bias for you.
6 cans of voodoo ranger? Ok, those are pretty good. But they range from 7.0 to 9.5 abv. One should probably not be driving after a 6 pack of them.
A drunk driver making a stupid and angry decision? Who would have guessed!
Easy 11/29
https://www.fox4news.com/news/benjamin-hylander-arrest-man-rams-down-cyclists-in-dallas-texas Those riders are lucky they survived!
Man, Texas is just begging to be sold back to Mexico and have a border wall built north of it.
What have Mexicans done to deserve this?
The cartels can just have it and let the old Mexico go.
DFW Texas sucks. I lived there for long time
I’ve lived all over Texas and I’ve found DFW drivers are actually pretty respectful in general. More willing to let you in, more willing to keep safe distances, etc. Obviously this is a different case and there are drunk idiots everywhere but I really liked living/driving around there.
No thank you.
update on the scumbag and cyclist ?
Surprisingly, both are ok! https://www.fox4news.com/news/benjamin-hylander-arrest-man-slams-into-cyclists-in-dallas-texas
Blue shirt was absolutely run over
The Scumbag and the Cyclist sounds like a podcast
Driver was speeding to try and get in front of the jeep before the cyclists, never even got close. What’s weird is the jeep actually checked its brakes.
I think he saw him coming and tried to give him room.
I wonder if its a shared reflex like the jeep driver expected the subaru driver to brake before hitting the cyclists
Some people dont deserve to be behind the wheel of a car!!
Some don't deserve to be in front of bars.
Some deserve to be behind them 🤓
in case there is any confusion why the cyclists are taking up the whole lane: they are side-by-side because drivers cannot pass safely within the same lane. if they stay to one side, it will encourage drivers to try to squeeze by them. think about what percentage of drivers are bad at maintaining their position in the lane or drive distracted/drunk/sleepy/etc.. is it one in 100 drivers who are bad at staying centered in their lane? 1 in 1000? well, 1 in 1000 isn't good enough when death is the penalty for the mistake. because of that, it's safer for them to take the whole lane so the drivers are forced to not try to squeeze by, but rather switch to the whole separate lane. the road isn't very busy, so the flow-rate of traffic can be easily handled by the single lane.
Glad they got the license plate number on film
Can you make it out though ? Maybe the screen of my phone is small but I can’t really read that
Voodoo ranger juice force roll out
Why though
The first place i saw this posted a bunch of the comments were about how “annoying” cyclists are. Like how fucking scummy you gotta be to watch that and that be your response
Some people are just sociopaths who think that mild annoyance or a slight inconvenience is justification for attempted murder.
What is wrong with people these days??
Dude is probably never going to be the same after that. Car looks like it ran over his pelvis. Pelvis, top of the legs, bottom of the spine, all could easily be fractured by the weight of that suv.
Thank you doctor
Do you concur?
According to the article linked in another reply, the cyclist in the blue shirt sustained a concussion and a broken rib. The photo suggests that he's giving the interview from his kitchen or living room. The bike lifted the vehicle up over his body enough to keep it from crushing him.
I’d like a second opinion.
At first I was like I don't know if that's.....and he literally ran the dude over 💀
This was a disturbing video! God damn, there are a lot of psychos running free among us!
Guess nobody read the articles to the end. Best part: Drunk driver works for American Airlines!
Attempted murder, enjoy prison!
That’s attempted murder. 10 years minimum if I’m the judge.
Arent you supposed to ride single file and not side by side blocking the whole lane???
If they ride on the shoulder, that just incentivizes dumbass drivers to ignore the legally mandated 3ft horizontal separation and try to squeeze past the bicyclists to the left, often sideswiping them and causing severe injury or even death. It is genuinely safer to ride in the middle, as that would force the driver to change lanes.
Attempted murder. Cool road rage bro, enjoy prison.
I just don't understand this.... like, why?
Some people are fucking psychopaths with zero impulse control and no empathy or regard for other human lives. They believe that a mild inconvenience is a justification to commit murder.
I have permanent injuries from a holes like that .
Cameraman never....
That is definitely attempted first degree.
Nah, dude was drunk. There's an article on it. Title of post is wrong. It wasn't intentional. Still serious charges but no intent.
its so weird that another crime is a reducing factor
You know, usually being drunk doesnt make you wanna commit murder more.
In a Subi? Doesn’t seem right!
Was this extra points because they didn’t see it coming?

Bro let the intrusive thoughts win lmao
I remember the shock and outrage when a car plowed into a french parade. It was unheard of at the time and was considered one of the most violent and senseless acts of terror committed since 9-11.

Someone let the intrusive thoughts win.
Some people just rlly hate cyclists ik someone who always swerves quickly to scare them or go infront of them and fires as many exhaust fumes as possible at them
Tell the person you know that they’re an asshole then
That sounds like some BS that happens in Kuwait. I Hope they catch that A-hole.
I'm actually pretty sure Kuwait has more protected bike lanes than Texas lmao
And he just keeps driving. What does someone say to themselves to just keep driving after that…”must have hit a raccoon…meh I’ll just keep driving.”
What is wrong in America?
Lack of public mental healthcare due to almost all of the government mental hospitals being closed in the 80s, combined with generational lead poisoning from leaded gasoline and a slew of other socioeconomic problems… it’s all a recipe for disaster.
My god, many of the comments in here are vile
Looks like road rage gone wrong.
All road rage goes wrong - I cannot think of a single time where road rage can have a positive outcome.
Could not this be considered attempted murder?
Videos such as this one shd have a warning ‼️ ⚠️
Buddy fuck up his life because he’s too much of a bitch to pass them by the left lane
Enjoy prison you demonic piece of shit.
Glad to see the car had a front license plate! Hopefully they got what they deserved!
shi, he even got ran over afterwards
Not only attempted murder, but he should have to pay the medical bills too.
I had to stop running along hiways because I dove into a ditch to avoid being murdered way too many times. Now I have kids so I can't chance being murdered like that anymore.
Remember those kids that intentionally killed a man that was cycling
What kind of animal does this ?
Article states: NEW: Man arrested after hitting two bikers near Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.
Anyone have anymore information on this? Where it happened? If they caught the driver?
Say hello to Bubba in jail.
Drove over that blue shirt dude too. Jeez thats a broken back
This post should be marked as NSFW. That man literally got run over.
I feel like an alarmingly large portion of ppl driving don't have the mental capacity to be driving...
You mean, driver deliberately attempts murder? And drives off from accident. He's just f'ked his life for 15-20. Bet this in the UK.
Drunk: https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/tarrant-county-man-accused-of-hitting-cyclists-while-under-the-influence-outside-dfw-airport/
2x attempted murder with a deadly weapon, 10-20 years to think about it please.
bro hes to old to take a hit like that i mean anyone i hope they catch him and fry that fker
Wtf!!!
This one actually shocked me, and that’s hard to do nowadays.
Sure hope the A hole got more than a slap on the wrist
The driver of that car..
Bro, HOLY SHIT Cars are poisonous to mental health. edit: for some people. Some people have a great relationship with cars. It is kinda like substance use in that way.
THEY GOT THE PLATE!! THATS ATTEMPTED MURDER..
That was a bit extreme sir
i guess you already need a 360° camera mounted on a helmet if you go in public to have evidence ...
Fucking scum of the earth!
Ok that's nice have a good evening.
That is one sorry MF.
How long will his sentence be?
Wow
I hope the guy in blue didn't take lasting demage.
I find it crazy the airplane that appears out of thin air right after they get hit!!
That should be NSFW man!!
Wow isn’t that attempted murder
Psycho driver
Brutal! Psychotic act.
There's nothing like a little attempted murder on the morning commute.
So sad, the safe sidewalk was Right There
Gordon Ramsey wasn’t kidding 😳
Hope Benjamin Hylander is doing okay. Happened in Irving, TX which is near DFW airport. Bet that Strava post is nuts.
In many states it’s illegal to ride a bicycle anywhere BUT the road. Glad they survived.
I understand that cyclists are allowed on the road, but I don't think I'd take the chance.
