Motorcycle flies off the Bay Bridge

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.

They could just have a money bonfire, instead of the OT and dive hazard pay for screwing around on pretend training BS.

Why don't they just say the car was changing lanes? Cars fault!

Scenes like this just reconfirm my belief that humans have a suicidally danger strike in them that overrides their common safty for ridiculous reasons.bRock climbing, skydiving, swimming with sharks etc.

For what? Vanity?

The motorcyclist transported himself to a hospital, where he was treated for minor injuries.

How did he transport himself with no bike, taxi?
