Motorcyclist goes airborne after wreck, walks away
A motorcylist hit at a busy intersection in Florida manages to walk away from the wreck after going airborne

TAMPA, FL (KTRK) -- A biker hit at a busy intersection in Florida may want to try his hand as a stunt double.

The motorcyclist cart-wheeled through the air, tumbled and rolled, then walked away unharmed.

In the video, you can see a car turning at a red light. But the motorcyclist, who actually had the right of way, hit the car and flipped over the hood.

Luckily, that motorcyclist did a tuck and roll and landed flat on his feet.

"I was like, 'ah!' I reacted just like that and I walked home and called my boy. I was like, 'yo, you need to come get me somebody hit me," said the motorcyclist, Michael Smith.

Police say the driver of the car was ticketed for making an improper left turn.

The motorcyclist was ticketed for not having a Florida motorcycle license.
