I would like to know is this man made it or not. I was a firefighter on scene and have thought about this a lot.

Hello, I did some online research and could find no further information on this accident. I'm hoping this is a very good sign that this motorcyclist survived. Ingrid Taylor, Managing Editor, Accident Data Center
