SOUTH WINDSOR, Conn. -- A near-miss motorcycle accident and traffic stop caught on camera in Connecticut is going viral.

The clip had more than 1.3 million views in 48 hours by Thursday afternoon.

It shows a motorcyclist and a car merging from two lanes down to one in South Windsor. The motorcyclist was wearing a camera and recorded the ride.

You can see he nearly gets cut off by the woman in a grey car. A little ways up the road, he flags down an officer who then pulls over the woman.

Thursday, South Windsor police addressed the incident on their Facebook page.


Many people have mentioned that there is no sign warning drivers that the road narrows from two lanes to one. The South Windsor Police Department said they have notified Connecticut State Police "of the need for a sign" but it is a state road so they cannot put the signs up themselves.
