SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) – A motorcycle flew off the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge around 9:45 a.m. Thursday, according to California Highway Patrol.
The motorcyclist was struck by a Mini Cooper when the car was merging into the fast lane, and the bike flew off the bridge, though the motorcyclist stayed on the bridge, Officer Mark Andrews told KRON4.
The motorcyclist transported himself to a hospital, where he was treated for minor injuries. The driver of the Mini Cooper was not cited. The CHP told KRON4 they did attempt to retrieve the motorcycle, but were unsuccessful. They sent a dive team into the water but were unable to locate it and will make another attempt at a later date.
Earlier on Friday, one person died in a crash near the entrance to the bridge’s toll plaza, backing traffic up for several miles.
There’s a video of some guy riding a unicycle around the top of an 840-foot smokestack in Romania. It’s hard to watch even if you’re not particularly acrophobic. Google “unicycle chimney”.
Yes, I can, reporters no longer ask “who, what, where, how and why?”
No, but because sitting scared of everything on earth is how cultures DIE. Daring to do what "Mommy says that's not SAFE" is how we as a species actually learns how to do things later.
To try and fail is to learn. To NOT try is to DIE, either literally, or at the very least spiritually.
Riding a cycle on the top of a bridge is different from grabbing a sharpened stick to attack a cave bear threatening your family as is hunting with same to bring home elk meat in prehistoric times.
Which one proved more beneficial?
Maybe just Darwin theory in effect.
go watch some mountain biking videos on YT
Super Dave
Kind of funny. Then they lose a lot money trying to get the motorbike out of the water. What? One quart of engine oil is going to pollute the Bay?
Absolute crazy maniacs on motorcycles speeding in and out of backed up traffic in San Francisco. I’ve never seen such dangerous riding.
“The writer has a collage education..can you tell?”
Journalism schools too busy teaching their students to be good leftists.
A “ collage “ education ?
.
How? His transportation was at the bottom of the Bay.
The motorcyclist transported himself to a hospital
Did he Astral Project, or did Scotty beam him over? Energize!
Maybe he teleported there.
Lol
No videos?
I just spewed Chardonnay- LOL!

How did he transport himself with no bike, taxi?

Yes. I wondered that also.
Bad writing.
It’s a proven anthropological and archeological fact that none of the scooter riding cave men survived.
