Bexar County - In this footage, a rider is seen sliding behind his motorcycle after it hits a curb at the intersection of Oakwood and Wooden Fox. The bike then explodes into flames, and the rider is thrown into the fire.

Children who were watching nearby run for safety as chaos erupts around them.

Shortly after, the rider — still on fire — runs toward a nearby park and rolls in the grass.

The rider, Josh, reached out to us and said his burns were serious enough to require surgery, but he expects to be okay. He said he was going too fast and leaned the bike the wrong way before falling off. We asked what he thought about the children near the crash. He didn’t answer that question but said they were supportive of him when he was putting out the fire with a hose from a neighbor.

Robert Perez captured the entire incident on his home security camera Thursday afternoon around 4:30.

He says the children seen running from the fire were okay, but he’s concerned something like this could happen again. He says drivers often speed through this stretch of Wooden Fox.

At the intersection where the motorcyclist crashed, a playground sits right next to the road, with a 20-mile-per-hour speed limit sign nearby.

“It makes it really hard for kids to cross the street, especially from the other side. It’s a blind curve, so people come speeding around not knowing what’s on the other side,” said Robert Perez.

A little farther north on Wooden Fox, at the intersection of Wooden Fox and Rainbow Creek, Perez says speeding drivers have also damaged signs in the area.

“I’ve seen these poles put up several times, and lately they just haven’t come back to put up new ones. I think they gave up,” said Robert Perez.

Every neighbor we spoke with expressed concerns about speeding drivers.

We reached out to the sheriff’s office to see how many accidents have happened along this road. We’re still waiting to hear back.

When authorities refuse to take action, Take a pickaxe to the tarmac and create your own speed bumps. And remember, nothing's illegal 'till you get caught doing it.
