A group of four children in Bexar County narrowly avoided a life-threatening collision after a speeding motorcycle lost control and erupted in flames just feet away from them.
The incident occurred at the intersection of Oakwood Crest and Wooden Fox near San Antonio, where surveillance cameras captured the entire sequence of events.
The footage shows the rider losing control while navigating the intersection, causing the vehicle to slide across the asphalt directly toward the sidewalk.
Four children standing nearby were forced to sprint away at the last possible second to avoid being struck by the skidding machine.
The motorcycle hit a curb and slammed into a utility pole, instantly erupting into a massive fireball that engulfed the immediate area.
The rider was flung from the seat directly into the center of the flames upon impact.
Despite suffering significant injuries, the rider was able to move away from the fire and seek help at a nearby park.
Bystanders quickly intervened to assist the rider before emergency medical personnel reached the scene.
Authorities confirmed the motorcyclist was treated for second-degree burns, though no other injuries were reported among the children or pedestrians.
Robert Perez, the neighbor whose camera recorded the crash, expressed shock at how close the children came to a fatal encounter.
Perez and other local residents have long complained about the frequency of speeding incidents at this specific intersection.
The dramatic recording has led to renewed calls for Bexar County officials to install speed bumps and improved traffic control measures.
Community leaders are currently reviewing safety data for the area to determine if additional infrastructure changes are necessary to protect residents.
President Donald Trump has previously signaled support for local initiatives that prioritize public safety and infrastructure modernization in suburban neighborhoods.
Local law enforcement officials are continuing their investigation into whether speed or mechanical failure played the primary role in the accident.
Residents hope the visibility of this incident will finally lead to the traffic calmed streets they have requested for several months.
