Police say a motorcyclist was taken to hospital with serious injuries after a B.C. crash near the Surrey-Delta border Saturday afternoon left a motorcycle dangling from a traffic light above a busy intersection.

Has anyone yet exaplained how this happened?

The bike looks pretty much undamaged. I don't know how you launch a street bike like that without seriously messing it up.

Ride up someone's tire.

Car was turning at the intersection, the bike came along at a high rate of speed and bounced off the car. Vid https://imgur.com/a/ovOVyPG The bike looks ok, but it's probably pretty messed up from that.

That’s wild.

How'd he get the beans above the frank?

Are we absolutely certain this wasn't Florida?

It seems plausible and the positions line up, but what's up with the artifacting? Why do the cars glitch in and out? Why does the rider become a rectangle for a moment while sliding? Was the stoppie snippet just a snippet or was Ai involved to modify and potentially emhance/hallucinate?

I couldn't tell you more as I don't really know the full details. Artifacting can be pretty common with some cameras, mine do that all the time from the compression, but I'm not sure about what caused the freeze frame bit on the bike.

Ooh, that's a good explanation.

Cool, thanks!

Ah, high speed, he was on the brakes so hard it was doing a stoppie (so rotational momentum already happening) and hitting the car was just enough.

Really beat from a physics standpoint. Sorry for the rider. The car continued on a left when they couldn't see, but the bike was going so fast I doubt the driver would've seen it in time anyway.

I say this as a rider of (mumble) decades - that rider would've eventually had this kind of crash driving like that.

Ya accidents suck but the way I see it is the Bike was 100% at fault here. When that car started turning it would have been difficult if not impossible to even tell that the bike was coming at them so fast.

At least from what I understand the biker luckily has serious but non-life threatening injuries. Tearing down a busy street like that could have ended much worse for him or others.
