The young biker who was dramatically pulled from underneath a burning car has admitted crying about his mangled motorbike - but said he is ‘forever in debt’ to the brave people who saved his life.

Brandon Wright, 21, a student at Utah State University in Logan, was pulled free by construction workers who downed tools when they saw him in trouble after a horrific crash.

He is now recovering in hospital from broken bones, burns and road rash among other injuries, following the accident that has gone viral online thanks to an incredible video showing the rescue

It's amazing how he survived with no gear and no helmet...

Full 14 minute coverage here:

He thanks his rescuers

Ah, missed it. Maybe a mod can merge this with Frodi's thread?

Wow seriously lucky guy.......

It's amazing that in some states in the U.S., bikers don't have to wear a helmet..... and of course no one seems to wear any sort of protective gear either....

Isn't it kinda weird that they left him there once they had pulled him out?? Right near the fire which may have exploded? Posted Image
