ABC 7 reports the crash happened on April 1 near Glendora, California, but the video just surfaced a few days ago.

The video was shot with a GoPro camera and it shows Lopez's motorcycle colliding head-on with a fire truck.

The victim, 24-year-old Jesse Lopez, suffered two compound fractures in his leg and a broken arm.  He was airlifted from the scene.

The video was shot from Lopez's helmet as he sped along a mountain road.  The motorcycle was traveling at more than 40 mph just seconds before impact.
