Hopefully the rider is OK, not really sure how this happened!

    Been thinking about this wild image all day. I have a theory, having seen none of the damage on the car -

    Maybe a near-t-boning. Front wheel of the motorcycle hits the sedan’s hood-ish area, popping the front of the cycle up. Sedan is still rolling, Rider accelerates (fully & accidentally, likely caused by the impact), and the back wheel hits the side of the sedan. Back wheel, going full blast, revs up the side of the sedan, popping the cycle vertically into the air. Since it’s going front-wheel first, that catches on the street light & hangs there.

    Rooting for the rider. I need closure.

    … while heading to Krispy Kreme, the donut shop nearby.

    I’m glad they included that, I was so curious to know where that random bypasser was heading.

    Be careful of what, spontaneously learning to fly? I’m still trying to wrap my head around what possible sequence of events could have led to hooking that bike by its forks on the pole like that while apparently causing very little damage to it in the process. Okay, he’s knocked off the front fairing and the windscreen, if it had one. But both tires are still inflated, the frame appears straight, the lower splitter is still attached, and I don’t even think the fork tubes are bent.

    Just.

    How?
