Motorcyclist Crashes After Unsecured Cargo Falls Off A Boat And Onto Minnesota Highway

A motorcyclist is lucky to be alive after crashing into an unsecured load that fell into the road.

The unidentified item dropped off a boat being towed by an SUV on Interstate 94 in Minnesota on June 18. Dramatic new video shows the motorcyclist hitting the cargo and being thrown into the air:

The rider lands hard on the asphalt as the motorcycle flies across the highway and into the emergency lane.

Horrified witnesses -- including Linda Leverty, who captured the terrifying crash on her dash cam and posted the footage to Facebook -- pulled over to check on the motorcyclist. Incredibly, the good Samaritans discovered he had only suffered minor injuries.

"What a relief," Leverty said.

She later said the SUV driver did not stop to help.

"While were on the scene, he never returned," she posted on Facebook.
