About 25 miles south of San Francisco a 19-year-old driving a Prius was for an unknown reason using his cell phone to record a pack of motorcycle riders on US Highway 101. When traffic slowed down in front of the Prius at about 8:00 a.m. the driver slammed on the brakes. To avoid hitting the car in front, he swerved the vehicle to the left hitting a motorcyclist in process. The Prius then slammed into the center divider, bounce back onto the lane and hit another motorcycle. In an attempt to avoid the crash, two other motorcyclists near the back of the pack tried to veer away but lost control and crashed.
When CHP arrived to the scene a pack of about 20 motorcycles were surrounding the Prius accosting the driver. Other motorcyclist and witnesses were tending to the injured victims.

From the group of20 motorcyclists surrounding the Prius, someone had punched the driver on the head at least once. Another motorcyclist was threatening the 19-year-old with knife.
