バイク事故の瞬間・渋谷ハロウィン2023 / Motorcycle Wheelie Crash at Tokyo, Shibuya Halloween 2023 (10.31.2023)

2023年10月31日の夜11時30分ごろ、渋谷ハロウィンでコスプレイヤーの撮影中、一団のバイク乗りの音が聞こえました。ストリートフォトグラファーとして、即座にカメラを向けました。1人のバイク乗りが急加速し、前に止まっていたタクシーに衝突しました。バイクが一瞬浮上した状態で、後部窓を壊し、タクシーを損傷させました。乗客がいたにも関わらず、けが人は出ませんでした。バイク乗りたちは外国語を話しており、地元の住民ではなかった可能性があります。
この事故で誰も怪我はありませんでしたが、その衝突の瞬間はKZbinのポリシーに合わせてぼかされています。
At around 11:30 pm, while recording cosplayers at Shibuya Halloween on October 31st, 2023, I suddenly heard the roaring approach of a group of motorcyclists. As a street photographer, my instincts kicked in, and I immediately aimed my camera in their direction. Unfortunately, as the bikers reached an intersection, one of them accelerated abruptly and collided with a stationary taxi positioned in front of them. It was unclear whether the biker intentionally attempted a wheelie or accidentally mishandled the throttle, causing the motorcycle to accelerate and briefly hover.
With its front tire in the air, the motorcycle reached a height that allowed it to shatter the rear window and damage the entire back of the taxi upon impact. While no injuries occurred in the accident, the moment of impact has been blurred to align with KZbin's policy.
The motorcyclists were conversing in a language that was not Japanese, which emphasized the diverse and international nature of the event, highlighting that they might not have been local residents.
This incident serves as a stark reminder that accidents can occur, particularly when people are caught up in the excitement of showcasing their vehicles. It's essential to stay mindful of your surroundings. Fortunately, in this instance, the motorcycle narrowly missed colliding with pedestrians. This is my second time witnessing a car accident within this month at Shibuya, and it's becoming increasingly concerning. These incidents are undeniably very dangerous.
I am sharing this footage to provide Shibuya police with additional context, as they have requested that I submit this footage.
