I’ve seen this a lot in action shots but I’ve never gotten a good explanation

Hey kiddo,
Imagine you have a drawing board and a big white paper! You want to draw a house on it. You draw your house in like 5 minutes, then you go out to pee cause you drank too much Mountain Dew. You come back, and you realize that the skateboarding kid from the block you hate, ran into your room and quickly scribbled himself on your drawing.

Now, the house is the original photo made in low light with a longer exposure, the paper is the sensor in your camera and the scribble of the skater is a result of a flash going off on the guy who jumped into the photo in the last minute.
