SAN ANTONIO \u2013 A motorcycle crash in a West Side neighborhood ended in flames Thursday afternoon, leaving the driver with minor burns and the community shaken.<\/p>\n
The crash was captured on video by neighbor Robert Perez, who told KSAT 12 he could not believe what had happened.<\/p>\n
\u201cI couldn\u2019t believe it, this couldn\u2019t be real life,\u201d Perez said. \u201cI can assure you it was 100% real. This was real life and not AI.\u201d<\/p>\n
The motorcycle is seen entering the frame rapidly with the driver not far behind, heading towards the intersection of Oakwood Crest and Wooden Fox.<\/p>\n
A group of four children is on the sidewalk, but starts sprinting away from the motorcycle heading towards the intersection.<\/p>\n
Then, the motorcycle crashed into the curb and burst into flames, with the driver sliding towards the fire.<\/p>\n
The driver catches on fire after being flung into the flames, then runs toward a playground at nearby Stone Creek Park. KSAT has chosen to blur this portion of the video due to its graphic nature.<\/p>\n
He later stumbles multiple times as he runs towards the park, while drivers of other vehicles pull over to help the man and the children seen running from the crash.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was nothing short of a miracle that none of those children were hurt,\u201d Perez said.<\/p>\n
When Perez arrived home, he said first responders were already at the scene. Neighbors attempted to put out the fire with a water hose.<\/p>\n
The driver had minor burns and road rash but was okay, Perez said, citing his neighbors and the Bexar County Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n
Neighbors said crashes are not new for the neighborhood, and they want speed bumps and four-way stops to help slow down drivers in the area.<\/p>\n
