Shocking surveillance footage has captured the terrifying moment a motorcyclist was thrown into a blazing fireball after losing control at high speed on a residential street in San Antonio.

The incident, which occurred on April 2 near the intersection of Wooden Fox and Oakwood Crest, shows the rider skidding violently across the road before slamming into a curb, triggering a massive explosion of flames.

In the heart-stopping clip, the motorcycle erupts into a fireball on impact, sending debris flying as the rider is launched directly into the blaze.

Moments later, in scenes described as nothing short of miraculous, the motorcyclist can be seen getting back to his feet and running, despite being engulfed in flames.

Nearby, a group of schoolchildren carrying backpacks are seen scattering in panic as the crash unfolds just yards away, narrowly avoiding the chaos.

Witnesses say the children managed to escape without injury, even as the situation spiraled out of control in front of them.

Local reports, including confirmations from News4SanAntonio and KENS5, state that the rider suffered serious burns but is expected to recover.

The footage, captured on a homeowner’s security camera, has since gone viral, with viewers stunned by both the intensity of the crash and the rider’s desperate attempt to escape the flames.

Emergency responders were called to the scene as the fire was brought under control, with the cause of the crash still under investigation.
