It will be a story told at bike nights and events for years to come, how a motorcycle disintegrated underneath a speeding rider when he crashed.

It happened in Tempe, Arizona on Wednesday when a County Sheriff’s deputy saw 19 year old Noe Calazo speeding on his 2004 Yamaha YFR motorcycle. Reportedly, the deputy's radar recorded Calazo's speed at 157 mph at the time of the incident at around 2 a.m.

But before the deputy could pull over the speeding rider over, Calazo lost control of the motorcycle when he was unable to navigate a gradual turn in the roadway. After crashing into the concrete base of a traffic signal pole the motorcycle was smashed into unrecognizable pieces and the rider suffered extensive injuries.

‘He drove 348 feet through the dirt shoulder before he collided with the concrete base of the traffic signal pole,’ a press release from officials reads, ‘The motorcycle then flew through the air for another 18 feet before colliding with a wooden SRP pole. The motorcycle was nearly disintegrated on impact and Calazo flew an additional 104 feet through the air before striking the ground.’

Calazo, who was riding with a suspended license, was transported by air ambulance to a local hospital and was last reported as being in extremely critical condition.

The sheriff's office reports Calazo has a previous arrest on his record for being a minor in possession of alcohol and resisting arrest and could face aggravated DUI charges since his license is currently revoked, reckless driving and criminal speed pending his release.
