Motorcyclist Crashes Trying to Beat Rising Drawbridge in Daytona Beach

A motorcyclist drove through a lowered barrier and crashed on a rising drawbridge in Daytona Beach, Florida, on March 12, surveillance footage released by Volusia County Government shows.

In a crash report sent to Storyful, Daytona Beach Police Department said the motorcyclist failed to observe the red flashing warning lights and collided with a large flashing red stop arm.

The driver continued and, as the bridge had already been raised halfway, dismounted as their bike fell off the bridge, they said.
