A BIKER was turned into a human fire ball after horrific crash last night.
The 25-year-old lost control of his black Kawasaki ZX6R motorbike before it ploughed it into metal railings in Northwick Road, Canvey.
The terrifying smash happened just before 8.30pm and the biker was rushed to Southend Hospital with serious burns to his neck and back.
The bike burst into flames on impact and petrol is believed to have splashed onto the driver, setting him on fire.
The man, from Basildon, is today in a serious but stable condition.
