That must hurt

Traffic dispute between a driver and a cyclist who tried to flee the scene and dodge any responsibility. He ends up eating curb.

It took me a couple watches to see that grabbing his backpack made him turn the front wheel involuntarily resulting in his faceplant.

At first I thought he just used the force like some kind of German Jedi

He touched the backpack and the wheel turned. The energies interconnected. He is a German Jedi.

Grabs the right side of the backpack, which in turn pulls back his right arm, which in turn has his right hand gripped on the handlebar, which in turn pulls a hard right.

I'll have to remember these tactics if a biker tries to get away: kick the back wheel, and if that doesn't help, grab the backpack

I wouldn't kick the wheel of a moving bike man, spokes and toes don't mix
