A Perth motorcyclist is lucky to be alive after a horrific accident sent a two-metre branch piercing through his body.
Sean Foster was riding along at about 80km/h when he became blinded by the sun and was unable to see the tree branch up ahead.
Unable to see, Foster felt something skewer his body before he was flung off his bike.
Not sure of what happened, Foster reached for his torso to feel the extent of the damage before realising a two-metre tree branch had impaled him.
"I knew there was something wrong because I could feel it, and then I grabbed it and felt around the back ... and felt it going right through," Foster told 7NEWS.
