Dashcam shows motorcyclist hit by turning car on Brisbane road

A motorcyclist had nowhere to go but slam at 60km/h into the side of a yellow Hyundai after a Brisbane driver turned directly into their path.

Dashcam video from the motorcycle has shows the whole incident unfold on a Brisbane road.

The video recorded Sunday night shows the Hyundai beginning to turn right at a set of lights along Nudgee Road while the bike is travelling about 60km/h.

The driver of the bike, unable to stop and with the right of way, ploughs into the turning vehicle.

There is an almighty bang as the driver is catapulted into the air and thrown metres from the bike.

The driver's legs are visible to the right of the frame.

"Are you all good man?" the car's driver asks after emerging from the vehicle.

"No ... Call an ambulance," the injured motorcyclist responds.

The driver of the bike, student paramedic Nathan Manning-Waddell, never expected to become the patient.

"I don't even remember hitting the horn or grabbing the brake," Mr Manning-Waddell told 9News from his hospital bed.

Mr Manning-Waddell said he was heading home after a 12-hour shift.

"I knocked off at 9.15pm and I was tossing up between going down the Gateway (motorway) or Nudgee Road," he recalled.

Then "everything went topsy-turvy".

Despite being bedbound with a shattered wrist he has no hard feelings toward the other driver.

"The driver who hit me, he was good ... he said he did the wrong thing," Mr Manning-Waddell said.

Mr Manning-Waddel has another surgery to undergo and said his first surgery was supposed to take 90 minutes but took "three or four hours".

But he says he's just happy to be able to tell the tale.

"To come away from that and be able to walk away, I reckon I did alright," he said.
