Biker gets up unharmed after high-speed crash with car at crossroads in Argentina
This is the moment a lucky biker miraculously survives as he slams into a car at a crossroads at speed before he gets up and walks away virtually unscathed after the other vehicle went through a red light.
The incident took place in the Villa Siburu neighbourhood of Cordoba, in Argentina, on Saturday, October 19. The footage, filmed by a security camera, shows the biker approaching the intersection at speed and not slowing down to check if other vehicles are coming.
Just as he arrives at the junction, a white car emerges from the right, and he crashes straight into the side of it, with his bike being ripped straight out from under his feet. He ends up on the ground but miraculously gets back to his feet almost immediately.
He then raises his arms in protest and walks off-screen towards his motorbike, with the images then showing the wrecked vehicle lining the street as the police work the scene.
Local media reports said the other vehicle, a Renault Fluence driven by a 38-year-old man, had gone through a red light, cutting him off. But when the police arrived on the scene, the motorcyclist was nowhere to be found, with the police saying that he fled the scene, no doubt because his number plates were fake.
It is unclear if the driver of the car was injured. The police are investigating the crash.
