The guy on the R1 posted on, I believe, Reddit, stating him and his buddy were fine except some minor injuries. The lady in the Mercedes was fine, and I guess her insurance is covering it but they aren’t taking any legal action.

He said they were speeding. Something like 80MPH, and he said he was “hard braking” and was around 35MPH when he hit the Mercedes, and due to such heavy braking, he couldn’t maneuver.
