DALLAS (CNN/KTVT/NORTH TEXAS TOLLWAY) - Take a look at this motorcycle crash. Amazingly, the biker is back on his feet after he was sent flying through the air last month.

Video of the accident was recently released by the North Texas Tollway Authority.

Twenty-five-year-old Zach Perez was rear-ended while slowing down in traffic. The Iraq war veteran broke a rib and four vertebrae, suffered a hernia and had his spleen removed.

"I survived Iraq and I come back home and almost die on the Tollway. I think it should be the other way around," said Perez.

Perez says the at-fault driver had no driver's license or insurance and wasn't arrested. But the driver did receive three tickets.
