A terrifying video of a motorcyclist stopping at a traffic light in Malibu, California showed footage of a pickup truck hitting him after being hit by a black SUV.
The horrific crash occurred on Nov. 14 and was a fatal incident for the driver of the black 2017 Lexus NC — a stolen car, according to the Los Angeles County Police Department.
In the clip, the unidentified motorcyclist, who survived the crash, calmly waits to turn left on Southern California’s busy Pacific Coast Highway.
Traffic is moving at a brisk pace, but despite the many cars on the road, the black SUV speeds straight onto the highway from Kanan Dume Road, overtaking a large gray pickup truck.
The truck, after being hit, spins and flies on its side straight into the motorcyclist as debris and materials from the truck are flung out of the back onto the public road.

Somehow the motorcyclist survived the crash and was taken to hospital. The condition of the pickup truck driver is also unclear, but not considered fatal.
The driver of the Lexus, which was stolen about an hour before the crash, did not survive the impact. The identity of the deceased has not been released by authorities.
The driver, allegedly discharged from rehab drove down a ramp at high speed shortly before the crash and hit about six warning markers in the median before crashing into the pickup truck.
The SUV then crashed into a 100-foot embankment and flipped upside down in its final resting position, the sheriff’s department said.
