Report narrative

What was reported

A Zoox vehicle (Vehicle 1) in autonomy was gradually slowing to a stop in the right travel lane (lane 5) for a red traffic signal on southbound [XXX] at the intersection with [XXX] in Spring Valley, Nevada. A motorcyclist (Vehicle 2), also southbound on [XXX], was traveling at high speed in the left through lane (lane 3), aggressively approaching a slowing SUV (Vehicle 3) in lane 3. The motorcyclist clipped the right rear corner of Vehicle 3, deflecting the motorcycle to the right, causing the motorcyclist to lose control and fall to the pavement. The motorcyclist was sliding on the pavement when the motorcycle made contact with the Zoox vehicle's rear bumper. The Zoox vehicle operator disengaged from autonomy and brought the vehicle to a stop. The motorcycle came to rest on its right side with the motorcyclist's right leg stuck underneath the motorcycle. An adjacent bystander immediately aided the motorcyclist and asked the Zoox vehicle operator to move the Zoox vehicle "slightly forward". After the Zoox operator moved the vehicle forward, the bystander lifted the motorcycle and the motorcyclist remained on the ground for a short period of time before standing up and walking around the scene. The motorcyclist was observed to have injuries. Police and EMS were called to the scene and the motorcyclist was later transported by an ambulance. The content of this report is unchanged from the initial report and provides complete information to date for this incident.
