The motorcyclist who was injured this Thursday in an accident faces a new problem, since his roommate claims that he "stole" the motorcycle, taking it without his permission.

After seeing the news and the photo, everyone has called me worried thinking that I am the one who had the accident”, he says angrily, adding that he plans to file a complaint. In fact, he explains that if he has not done so yet it is because the Police have asked him to wait until they can complete the proceedings, "since the injured man was very serious.”

According to him, the motorcycle is usually inside the house, but this Thursday it was in the street: “I took it outside for 10 minutes to start it, I had it idling and when my daughter arrived, I took her to the park and the motorcycle stayed outside.”

This coincided with the arrival of his roommate. “He saw it out there and, I don't know if to show off or what, he started it”, details the affected party. "Neighbors have told me that they saw him and that he started doing wheelies with it”, he adds. Afterwards, he ended up colliding with several vehicles that were parked on the street.

Upon returning to the house, the owner found out what had happened. "When we arrived, I didn't want my daughter to see it because she could be traumatized, these things are shocking”, he says, referring to the severity of the injuries.

On the other hand, he points out that he has contacted his partner, who has “injuries to his hip, shoulder and burns all over his body.”
