A 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup, driven by Oliver Jennings, 36, of Chandler, Ariz., slammed into the rear of the motorcycle. The motorcyclist flew from his bike over the Hyundai and into the rear window of the Nissan before landing on the roadway .

The three other drivers suffered minor injuries. No one was immediately charged; however, police continued to investigate the crash Saturday.
