In the video, you can see the driver was able to get off the motorcycle just before it went off the edge and dangled off the bridge. The driver told police he didn’t see the warning lights because he was trying to clear rain off his helmet shield.

Police said in a tweet that one of the traffic arms would need to be replaced. The bridge was closed Saturday morning but reopened in the afternoon following an inspection.

The driver was uninjured.
