If you’re on a motorcycle and you get to walk away from just about any sort of impact, you should just go ahead and call that a good day, because when you’re on two wheels any accident can be pretty nasty.
Thankfully, this particular rider received medical attention within 10 seconds of being hit by that pickup truck and he seemed OK. As for being thrown in the air and hitting the ground hard, it’s a good thing he landed on grass instead of the tarmac.
The driver of the cammer took to Reddit to give an account of how things went down following the crash:
“I immediately called for ems. There was an ambulance at the scene already, they were eating at subway to the right you can see the truck as the accident happens. Police and fire show up in about 90 seconds after the wreck. He was awake and answering questions and was not really making a sound so he must have got lucky.”
As for the driver of the red pickup truck, they remained in the car, at least for the entire duration of the video, which seems a bit curious. Guess they were shocked by the accident and/or thought that they had seriously injured the rider (or worse…), which gladly wasn’t the case.
