A spectacular accident on Interstate 95 Monday night rivaled a scene from a movie when an out-of-control riderless motorcycle flew off an exit ramp’s wall, landed on a vehicle below, then burst into flames, the Florida Highway Patrol said. Both motorists were taken to the hospital, but neither suffered serious injuries.
FHP said the motorcycle had been northbound on the exit ramp to State Road 84 in Ft. Lauderdale FL around 7 p.m. when the rider lost control, hit a curb and was thrown from the bike to the highway, according to FHP.
But the motorcycle kept rolling on its own, climbed-over the wall and fell below, landing on the roof of the car of an unsuspecting northbound driver.
The impact then caused the car to burst into flames. The driver of the burning car managed to get out without serious injury. The crash closed traffic for several hours, stranding motorists on the busy highway.

Mysteriously, a series of sharp holes poked-into the pavement were found where the motorcycle rider was seen to have landed.
