I was traveling northbound on 270 and just passed the exit for RT.80 (Urbana) when I saw a white/blue 09 busa crash. The rider slid to the median while his bike slid to the shoulder. He was up taking his jacket off almost immediatly after he stopped sliding. I believe he made contact with a stake body truck but there were about five cars in between us so im not exactly sure. I hope he realizes how lucky he was to be walking away from a crash on 270 and considers changing his riding style atleast around others. This individual had been lane splitting prior to the urbana exit where 270 is 3 lanes. I know this because I moved over in the lane I was traveling which was the far right lane to give him some room when I saw him using the lane and passing the car behind me before passing me. I know there are a few people who are local to this area and just wondering if anyone knows who it is.

Don't know who it might've been.
Hope he's OK.
Hope he learned a lesson.
Tough enough to get home in one piece without "questionable" riding in the mix.
