Scene of collision caught on camera

The fatal incident, which took place at the junction of Bartley Road East Road and Airport Road, was caught by a dash camera of another vehicle at the scene.

According to footage shared on Facebook, the motorcyclist could be seen travelling at a slow speed towards the rightmost lane, as the traffic light was red.

The white car did not show signs of stopping and continued to travel along the rightmost lane at high speed.

As a result, the car rammed into the motorcyclist, flinging him into the air.

As the car only managed to stop at a yellow box at the junction, other vehicles that had the right of way and making a left turn had to come to an urgent stop.

In photos showing the aftermath of the collision, the motorcyclist's vehicle could be seen lying on its side in front of the car.

Several members of the public and paramedics could also be seen attending to the motorcyclist.
