A motorcyclist in Fresno lost part of his foot in a crash with a big rig but kept on riding, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The CHP told the Fresno Bee that the motorcyclist, whose identity was not revealed, was driving under the influence of either alcohol or drugs Thursday night when he crashed into a large truck.

The truck driver noticed blood on the side of his truck and notified authorities. The CHP was made aware of the incident when a woman called and said her husband lost part of his foot and was at a gas station near Highway 99 and Mountain View Avenue.

Upon arriving at the station, an officer saw the man lying on the ground with his helmet nearby. The motorcycle was not at the gas station and the CHP believes one of the man's friends or family members left with it.
