Good Samaritans on Bikes: Hit and Run in Chile

Chilean Motorcyclists Rescue Elderly Man After Hit-and-Run A heartwarming yet unsettling incident unfolded in an unspecified location in Chile on June 6, 2025. A video circulating on social media shows an elderly man lying injured in the street after being struck by a car. What makes this story unique is the immediate response of two motorcyclists, who witnessed the accident. "It was shocking," stated one of the motorcyclists in an interview included in the video. "One of us stayed with the elderly man while the other followed the driver who had fled the scene." The video shows the motorcyclist pursuing the driver's car, ultimately leading to the driver's apprehension. The video also highlights the lack of assistance from other bystanders. "Nobody else stopped to help," the motorcyclist added. "It was just us." This stark contrast between the motorcyclists' selfless actions and the apathy of others is striking. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of community support and responsible driving. The quick thinking and bravery of these two motorcyclists prevented further harm and helped bring the irresponsible driver to justice.
