The front fender of the Lexus was stuck in the back wheel of the e-bike, which was destroyed.

The victim, Richard Schafer, was in the hospital after that crash and is still recovering.

“Can you just replace my bike? Please? I’ll say we’re square after that. Replace my bike and we’re good,” said Schafer.
