Be careful on the road, everyone!
A motorbike rider sped through a red light and was sent flying into the air after crashing into a car at Lake Macquarie near Newcastle, in NSW.
The collision was caught on a dashcam.

On Friday, the 25-year-old rider was seen travelling through the intersection before approaching a set of red lights on a road shoulder.
After colliding with a Hyundai, the rider was flung into the air, before slamming into a traffic light and falling to the ground.
The motorbike rider suffered critical injuries, including a broken ankle, and was taken to John Hunter Hospital.
On the other hand, the 45-year-old driver of the car was uninjured.
It’s always this time of the year that we start seeing some awful accidents on the road. The holiday season can be a crazy time and we know people are often in a rush to get to events or get home. However, no red light ran, no speeding over the speed limit or driving under the influence is worth yours or someone else’s life.
No minute saved by speeding or money saved by drunk driving is worth a life. So please drive responsibly these holidays and look out for those around you.
