Zanne Fernwood was running some errands on her motorbike in Toronto's Greektown area late Monday afternoon when she unexpectedly became a witness to a spectacular crash involving a black hot rod.
"I heard this giant roar behind me," Fernwood told CP24.com on Monday evening.
The area resident was travelling eastbound Danforth Avenue, just past Pape, at around 4 p.m. when she said she was cut off by the driver of a custom Model T Ford moments before he aggressively tried to pass a small sedan in front of her.
Fernwood said the motorist was driving at at least 65 kilometres an hour when he swerved to the right then cut sharply left into the driveway of the nearby Ontario Line construction zone as he tried to get by the other driver.
"He was just jerking wildly on the steering wheel," she said, adding that the vehicle then went on two wheels as its driver lost control and ran into some kind of pole before hitting the fence of a CafeTO patio on the south side of the street.
Fernwood said she pulled over to the right to get out of harm's way when all of this happening.
