Video After The JumpWashington State Troppers are "infuriated" today after they say a group of motorcyclists taunted an injured officer after causing him to crash his vehicle.Trooper Bryan Salyer, 46 says he saw the bikers going over 100 mph and started to chase them, but soon crashed after the motorcyclists intentionally cut him off according to King5.
"Two of the bikes crossed over and intentionally cut the trooper off and slammed on their brakes," said Washington State Trooper Cliff Pratt. He says Salyer slammed on his brakes to avoid hitting them, which caused his car to hit a guard rail, then flip several times.
"As he is looking up at them, thinking they would get off and help him out of this horrible situation, they got off their bikes at stood about 30 feet within him and started pointing and clapping, thinking it's a really funny incidence for themselves." says Pratt.
However, a witness has come forward to tell a different story.
Francisco Sanchez of Seattle, says he saw the bikers pass him at a high rate of speed. Soon after, the patrol car approached.
"It was completely out of control," he said of the patrol car. "The car was just dancing. It hit the dirt and then cartwheeled like a cheerleader at nationals."
Sanchez added that it didn't look like the bikers cut the car off, but he did confirm they taunted the officer after the crash.
"They were excited. There was clapping and cheering, and a couple people got off their bikes to take pictures of the spectacle,"Sanchez said.
Salyer suffered a concussion, cuts, bumps and bruises in the crash.
Police are still looking for the bikers.
