Motorcyclist critical after crashing while giving driver the finger
A motorcyclist is fighting for his life after crashing his bike while giving the finger to another driver.
The man, from the US state of Texas, lost control of his bike and ran into the kerb after overtaking a woman on the North Eldridge Parkway.
The other driver told police that just moments earlier, the rider had overtaken her car and flipped her the bird.
He then turned around to do it again, but lost control of his bike.
"After he gave her the finger a second time, he lost control of the motorcycle, struck the curb and struck his head and was unconscious at the scene," Sergeant Dashana Cheek-McNeal from the Harris County Sheriff’s office said.
The rider remains in hospital, and police have confirmed the female driver played no part in the accident.
