Motorcycle ends up dangling from traffic light, insane wreck footage shows

A Canadian intersection turned into something out of an action movie Saturday afternoon when a motorcycle rider was launched into the air so violently after a crash with a BMW that the bike wound up hanging from a traffic light pole like a twisted Christmas ornament.

The insane wreck unfolded around 3 p.m. in Delta, British Columbia — a suburb outside Vancouver where stunned witnesses watched emergency crews swarm the intersection after the high-impact collision.

Security footage circulating online appears to show the motorcycle speeding southbound before smashing head-on into a silver BMW that was attempting a left-hand turn. The force of the impact sent both the rider and the bike airborne in a split-second scene that looked more “Fast & Furious” than suburban Canada.

And somehow, incredibly, the rider lived.

Photos from the aftermath show the mangled blue-and-white motorcycle wrapped around the top of a traffic signal several feet above the road while debris littered the intersection below. The BMW’s front end was crushed, and its windshield appeared shattered from the impact.

The biker was rushed to a hospital with serious injuries that authorities said were thankfully not life-threatening — a stunning outcome considering the sheer violence of the crash. The BMW driver escaped without injuries, according to local reports.

Delta fire officials described the bizarre aftermath in a Facebook statement Saturday night.

“As a result of the collision, the motorcycle became suspended from a traffic signal above the intersection,” the department said.

“Our crews worked throughout the incident to assist with patient care, scene safety, and later the safe removal of the motorcycle from the traffic light.” No kidding.

The footage quickly spread online, with viewers comparing the scene to a Hollywood stunt gone wrong and marveling that the rider survived at all. Authorities have not yet announced whether charges will be filed as the investigation continues.
