On a suburban road, a motorcyclist was injured and lying behind his vehicle. Two young people related to the incident each gave their own version of events.
Young man A said: 'It's because B was too mischievous. He threw a stone at the motorcyclist, causing him to fall.'
Young man B said: 'It's not my fault. A insulted the motorcyclist, and when he turned around, he accidentally hit a utility pole.'
It is known that only one of these two young people is telling the truth. Who is telling the truth and why?

B is lying, everyone knows that a car moving at high speed has a certain inertia. If it crashes into a utility pole, both the person and the car would tumble forward together. However, since the car is stopped, its sliding distance will be much shorter. The person is different because naturally one will instinctively let go, performing a projectile motion. Therefore, if hitting a utility pole, the person would be in front of the car, but as mentioned above, it says the person is behind the car, which does not match the facts. B is lying, and what A said is true. As for what A said, it matches the analysis.
You lied to B, but your reason isn't enough ^o^ Think again, there's a bonus of 500,000 membership points.
It's impossible to use the word 'fall' to describe hitting a utility pole, and there would definitely be guardrails in the suburbs. How could one not hit the guardrail first and hit the utility pole instead? But then there is a problem: throwing a motorcycle that is traveling at high speed on a highway is very difficult, and even if you managed to hit it, it wouldn't cause it to fall, right? No, I can't, I'm getting dizzy myself.
Those who want to test it can try riding a bicycle. When the speed gets a bit high and you brake the front brake, the rear wheel will lift off. However, people with a heavier weight shouldn't try it, the greater the mass, the greater the inertia... (Don't blame me if you get hurt, Xiao Ye! Give me 500,000)
