Causing the semi truck behind them both to slam into them both and jackknife.
I was a few car lengths behind the motorcycle two lanes over to the left when it crashed and barley avoided running over the driver and passenger as they were spinning and flopping down the highway. Others were not as lucky as me.
My children were in then car and saw most of it.

Not a good accident. Ouch.
Nevertheless...Motorcycles are especially adept at maneuvering around objects, and especially vulnerable (which the rider should be aware of)...I would be willing to bet he/she wasn't paying attention if he just hit it.
Also...just thinking out loud...what if it wasn't a tread? The same thing could have happened...
