A bizarre road accident in Buga, Colombia, has gone viral after an open bus door appeared to save a motorcyclist from potentially far more serious injuries.

Biker flies through bus door, survives

The bus's passenger door was open at the time of the collision. Instead of slamming directly into the side of the vehicle, the impact sent the motorcyclist flying through the open doorway and into the bus.

Remarkably, the rider was later seen standing up and walking out of the vehicle on his own.

A forgotten door and an unlikely escape

According to details circulating with the viral video, the bus driver had allegedly failed to close the passenger door before continuing the journey.

That apparent mistake may have turned into an unexpected stroke of luck for the motorcyclist.

Had the door been shut, the rider could have collided directly with the solid side of the bus. Instead, the open entrance created a gap through which he was thrown by the force of the crash.

The rider landed inside the bus, where seats and the vehicle's interior may have absorbed part of the impact.

The footage shows the bizarre aftermath as passengers struggle to understand what has just happened. One moment, the bus appears to be moving normally; the next, a motorcyclist has suddenly entered through the open door.

Authorities are reportedly examining the circumstances of the accident and the condition of the motorcyclist.

Several people pointed to the incredible timing of the open door, with one commenting that it was "the kindest mistake ever made".

Others said the crash was a reminder of how quickly road accidents can turn deadly, particularly when riders travel at high speed through busy intersections.

Some viewers also noted that the motorcyclist appeared not to be wearing a helmet in the footage, adding another layer of concern to the incident.
