Video Shows Motorcycle Stuck On Traffic Post After Freak Accident


This looks like something out of a movie.

A video of the aftermath of a motorcycle accident in Canada has gone viral after a motorcycle can be seen dangling from a traffic light post.

According to police reports a motorcyclist and a driver of a Sedan collided resulting in the motorcycle to go airborne and getting stuck on a traffic post.

Here’s a video of the accident:

CBC provided an update on the injuries of the motorcycle driver:

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.

Delta police say officers were called just before 3 p.m. PT to the 7100-block of Scott Road at 72nd Avenue and 120th Street for a crash between a motorcycle and car.

Police say the rider suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries and the driver of the sedan was not injured.

Photos and videos circulating online show the motorcycle suspended above the roadway from an overhead traffic signal pole following the crash.

Here are some videos from different angles:

Yahoo News attempted to explain the physics behind the crash:

As bizarre as the scene looks, high-energy motorcycle crashes can produce chaotic physics. A bike hitting another vehicle, curb, median, or roadside structure at the wrong angle can effectively turn part of the crash into a ramp, launching debris or even the motorcycle itself into the air.

That does not mean police believe the rider was performing stunts or riding recklessly.

At this point, investigators have not publicly blamed speed or rider behavior.
