Photos and videos circulating online show the motorcycle suspended above the roadway from an overhead traffic signal pole following the crash. Onlookers took video and filmed the bizarre aftermath of the collision.
One person who worked nearby told a local news outlet: “Never seen anything like this, like seeing a movie.
"I was looking down and then I looked up and the [motorbike] was above — kind of crazy," he said.
Another person said: “You’d think it would launch to the sidewalks, to the businesses but to perfectly get up there and wrap itself around.… It’s wow,” he added.
Firefighters later managed to remove the bike from the traffic pole.
