CCTV captures moment motorbike rider somehow survives high-speed crash
Security cameras have captured the shocking moment a motorbike rider collided with a car and was sent flying through the air - but somehow survived - in Adelaide's northern suburbs.
The rider careered into a dark coloured sedan, which appeared to cross the road in front of him. After initially getting to his feet, the man collapsed on a nearby lawn with what was later confirmed to be a broken leg.
"I f---ing had a bike accident, didn't I, Dad? Someone pulled out in front of me," he can be heard saying on the CCTV as paramedics treat him.

The driver of the sedan, Tabitha Aleer, said her eight-year-old daughter was in the car at the time of the incident, and that she didn't see the motorbike coming.
"I was very shocked inside the car. I wept, and I couldn't see properly," she told 9News.
The impact sent the motorbike into a parked SUV.
"I thought he was actually dead, but thank God he just woke up… I said OK, thank you God," Aleer said.
Police say both were partly to blame for the impact - Aleer was issued with a fine, while officers reported the 25-year-old rider for riding in a dangerous manner, being unlicensed, unregistered, and without a registration plate.
He'll now face court, once he's recovered from his injuries.
