The scene was flanked by automobiles rushing past the place in the middle of a street on the South West side of Houston where the small motor bike became inflamed . While the bike burned , the driver worked to free himself from the inferno. For several seconds, there was no sign of the presence of human life, however within a matter of a few minutes, driver , African American male emerged from behind a 4ft flame.
Portions of his vehicle split into two parts. Tires once attached to the Suzuki Mini Bike were tossed through the air , landing several yards from where the motorcycle made it’s final revolution.
The 30 year old driver was unharmed but badly shaken after enduring the shock of his vehicle collapsing from under him.
The incident was explosive sounding off as though bombs had been attached to the small motor vehicle. Within a few minutes several cars that had been stalled in the road began to proceed without infraction.
The driver who avoided stopping for long to respond to questioning by ENSNEWS1 reporter, Amy Voss, was thought to have been part of a stunt practice for a scene in a film. That concept did not pan out when information from another news source previously informed that another incident replicating this one that occurred on Westheimer Rd. last night at approximately 12 midnight.
In that incident, it is reported that a 40 year old man was killed when his speeding motorcycle, also, burst into flames while traveling on the interstate in the same area. Police indicated that the flaming vehicle caused the driver to swerve while traveling at high rate of speed. The driver soon lost control of the vehicle and slammed into a guard-rail.
There has been no report of the brand or make of the crashed motor cycle.
