Quad bike rider is thrown across car windscreen in collision after he pulls out in front of family's car
This is the shocking moment a quad bike rider is thrown across a car's windscreen in collision after he pulls out in front of a family's car.
The incident took place in Rotherham, South Yorkshire on the 6th of November and was captured by CCTV.
The dramatic footage was shared online by Ross Mach, a friend of the family involved in the collision who said the driver was his friend Keeley Wright who had her 'young' son and twin babies in the back.
It shows the biker approaching a junction which is partially blocked by a parked van.
After a quick check, he can be seen accelerating ahead failing to see the family's car approaching.
He then pulls out into the path of the vehicle, which ploughs directly into the side of his bike.
The biker is sent barreling over the front of the car, flipping over its windshield and eventually crashing to the ground.
The car slams hard on its brakes and comes to a stop while the biker almost immediately jumps back to his feet.

He then returns to his quad bike, performs a three point turn and flees the scene- meanwhile the family exit the car and a woman can be seen checking the babies in the back.
The distressed mother can be seen carrying one child while her son dressed in school uniform stands by.
Ross shared the jaw-dropping footage on Facebook, saying:
He ends up crashing to the ground but manages to get up almost immediately
He then returns to his vehicle, performs a three point turn and flees the scene
'My friend's wife, two baby twins and his son left pretty upset today. Let's find the lad on the quad that takes off.'
Speaking today, Ross said: 'They are shaken up.
'I think the police found the quad abandoned and have a lead as to who was the rider, but this has yet to be confirmed.
'The car is a write-off for sure.'
