Those that caught the video know how bad it was. It was the video of all the motorcycles being run over by a car. Anyway, i just wanted to send my condolences to his family and all that were injured or died in this horrible situation. If you haven't seen the accident yet then perhaps you may not want to. It will engulf you in rage as it has me and many others.

MEXICO CITY -- Mexican television actor Edgar Ponce died Thursday after a car plowed into a motorcycle he was riding during the filming of a promo ad that was to air on Televisa variety show "No Manches". Ponce, who has appeared on numerous telenovelas, died early Thursday morning in a Mexico City hospital; three other actors, also riding motorcycles at the time, sustained injuries. The accident occurred during the filming of an advertisment for "Solo Para Mujeres" (For Women Only), a live male striptease show.

Description:
This is a video of some mexican actors who got run over from behind while filming an advertising commercial. The guy who ran into them was questioned by the other bikers and he said the reason he did it was because they were using all three lanes!

UPDATE:
Shortly after posting this video we learned the following information and removed this clip from the site. We have a strict policy out of respect to both family and friends of victims of such accidents that we will not knowingly post a video where the loss of life occured.

A television actor and dancer killed in a traffic crash was violating laws by driving his motorcycle on a highway and filming without a permit, prosecutors in Mexicos capital said today. Edgar Ponce, who has appeared on television soap operas and in the male dance troupe For Women Only, died Thursday after a car hit his motorcycle on a highway where trucks, motorcycles and delivery vehicles are required to use side lanes. Police said the driver was not trying to kill Ponce, and did not appear drunk, but was accused of involuntary homicide similar to manslaughter and released on a bail of 300,000 pesos (US$27,000).

Wow, that video was HORRIBLE. I agree that they should've taken out a permit and gotten a police escort though. Mexico City can be a bad place to drive, especially for motorcycles. That guy needs to get the firing squad though. He plowed right into them. You can TELL it was intentional and afterward, he tried to keep on going. If I were his friends, I would've beat the snot outta the driver. He would've needed to be in the ICU for months. Again, I hope he gets the firing squad.
 
i dont know what to say ---- thats so sad --- and it looked like the driver was hauling ass --- but i guess it was ok since they didnt have a permit --wtf --

damn -- :(
 
Wow, the first guy actually flew up over the truck after it plowed into him. Kind of freaks me out since I'm shopping for a bike.
 
Some people on bikes get no respect at all. I have seen more accidents and fatalities by either inexperienced riders or people that just dont pay attention enough to see them on the road. I've heard from other people that they've been told by the people that have hit them, "I didnt even SEE him." And at least ONE of these happened while the guy on the bike was waiting for the turn arrow and an SUV (of course) plowed into the back of him. Of COURSE you couldnt see him, the SUV was high up enough to have it's own altitude and air climate. The bike ended up underneath the car. I dont remember if the poor guy made it or not. Sure didnt look like he did when you saw the pictures of it.

While any loss of human life is tragic, it's worse when it happens unnecessarily and spitefully. I think when any vehicle is used as a battleing ram against an unarmed, unsuspecting, innocent victim, they should be charged with vehicular homicide and given 20 years to life or even the death penalty. Especially when that suspect is under the influence. Half the time they wont even feel the same pain as the person they hit so it needs to made up SOMEwhere.
 
That was insane. That car nearly hit two other cars as well. There is no excuse for that what so ever. I guess people forget that driving is a privledge and not a right.
