NOT!

Pretty sad. I would expect as much from cagers, but there was a few of our so-called moto-brethren that streamed on by without a second look. Sorry if it's a repost, though I think it's a fresh kill (fore-warning for the squeamish, though it's a long shot and not a graphic depiction of death.) and no hits on a link search...

(likely the guy was dead on impact and nobody really could have helped, but still, perhaps a bit of chest pumping and mouth to mouth could have save a life. Obviously, way too much bother for those on their way to work. Heck such action would likely equal a 30 minute deduction from their weekly paycheck. I get it, the riders life was obviously worth less than the 10-100 bucks that nobody was willing to give up in order to not make any attempt at revival...)

That's a pretty amazing response from the drivers, riders, and even pedestrians.   Crazy   I couldn't really tell what happened to the rider.   There was another smaller truck that came from behind the concrete truck.

Not uncommon out here, a bunch of cell callers, but nobody would "want to get involved". But, damn if it happens to one of their friends EEK! you shoulda parted heaven and earth for them. Suprised it's in Israel, then again would you stop in that traffic? Or call 911 and pull over where it's safe?

Can't really say what I'd do in that situation. Though since it's right on the edge of a major intersection, It's pretty clear that if someone had come to a full stop right next to the victim to protect them from traffic and make some attempt to render aid, it would have not been a big risk since everyone else is starting from a dead stop. For anyone blowing their horn for causing gridlock by stopping in the middle of the road to protect the downed rider, they would have gotten a wholehearted two finger salute followed by a point to the downed rider...
