Motorcycle crashes can be terrifying. From overcooking a corner to applying too much throttle at lean to tailgate too closely, we riders can avoid certain crashes with sound judgment and developed skills. A rear-end collision isn’t one of those situations, however, and a Brazilian motorcyclist was lucky to avoid serious injuries after one such incident on Sao Paulo’s Rodovia dos Imigrantes.
According to surveillance footage provided by Brazilian transportation company EcoRodovias, the driver of a Jeep Renegade struck the motorcycle at the 14-kilometer marker of the Rodovia dos Imigrantes (near the city of Diadema) around 1:45 p.m. The rider was thrown from the bike by the collision, but only suffered minor injuries and was later transported to the Piraporinha Hospital Emergency Room.
