This will hurt to watch. A couple from Elkhart Indiana passing through Ohio on the freeway. Traffic slowed, and they didn't. OSHP dash cam captured the crash. High side. No helmets.

Did he lock up the rear?

 

 

Are you thinking non-ABS bike, locked up rear, and instinctively let the brake off but the back wheel was out of it's track and letting it roll again made the wheel snap back into line, causing the high side?

 

That's what I'm thinking...

His front wheel was pointed in direction of travel while sideways when it went over. If the front wheel had been straight and pointing to the right, it might have gone that way. Still out of control, but might have initiated another skid to recover. Hard to do on a heavy bike. But possible if the weight is down low.

Hats off to the semi driver.   Those rigs aren't cheap, not to mention whatever cargo he's carrying.  off-roading in a tractor-trailer is a huge risk  when you're attempting to avoid people who are probably already dead.
