In a Glorious Fashion?

Hi,

Will you rephrase the sentence below? I can't imagine the "in a glorious fashion" part. What does it mean?

He's riding a bicycle and crushes in a glorious fashion into a potted plant.

Thanks in advance,
M

Are you sure it's not "crashes"? "Crushes" would be uncommon in this usage. The whole thing is sarcastic.

I suppose "crushes" could be used to make the situation even more rediculous.

Thank you, and yes it was actually "crashes."

But I got your point, thank you for the helpful tip.
