Truck Drives Through Motorcyclists During Annual Ride in Aurora

AURORA, IL — A pickup truck drove through a group of motorcyclists Sunday afternoon during the ninth annual La Carne Azada ride, prompting punches and a getaway attempt.

Aurora Police Department spokesman Dan Ferrelli told the Chicago Tribune that an officer saw a group of motorcycles “driving recklessly and disobeying traffic signals near the downtown intersection of West New York Street and River Street.”

The officer tried to get the riders to slow down, but one of them blocked the cop car from moving and waved the others through, according to the report.

"The group went around the squad with total disregard," Ferrelli said in the article.

The motorcyclists then encountered a 44-year-old Yorkville man in a 2005 GMC Sierra pickup truck.

The riders reportedly surrounded the man after he attempted to change lanes to move away from them.

During the confrontation, a motorcyclist goes over to the man and punches him through an open window. The driver hit back and a fight ensued. The driver then tried to get away by going over a lawn and a parking lot.

No arrests have been made or citations given yet. See the video of the incident below.
