A chilling video of a motorcyclist stopped at a traffic light in Malibu, California, showed footage of a pickup truck flying at him after being hit by a black SUV.
The horrific accident took place on November 14 and was a fatal incident for the driver of the black 2017 Lexus NC – a stolen car, according to Los Angeles County police.
In the clip, the unidentified motorcyclist, who survived the crash, calmly waits to turn left onto the busy Pacific Coast Highway in Southern California.
Traffic moves at a brisk pace, but despite the many cars on the road, the black SUV speeds straight down the highway from Kanan Dume Road, cutting into a large gray van as it passes.
The truck, after being impacted, spins and flies sideways directly into the motorcyclist as debris and materials from the truck are thrown off the bed and onto the open road.

The motorcyclist survived the crash and was taken to hospital. The condition of the driver of the van is also unclear, but he is not believed to be fatal.
The driver of the Lexus, which had been stolen about an hour before the accident, did not survive the impact. The identity of the deceased has not been released by authorities.
The driver, who was reportedly released from rehab shortly before the crash, was traveling down a grade at high speed and hit about six warning markers in the center median before crashing into the van.
The SUV then crashed down a 30-foot-high embankment and came to its final upside-down resting position, the sheriff’s department said.
