Motorbike rider dies in horrific Sydney crash caught on dashcam

Dashcam footage has captured the fatal collision between a motorbike and SUV at a busy Sydney intersection on Wednesday.

The two vehicles collided and the rider was knocked from his bike and left lying on the road.
NSW Ambulance confirmed to Yahoo News they deployed multiple crews to attend the scene and rushed the rider to Royal North Shore hospital with serious injuries where he later died. The 20-year old SUV driver was treated by paramedics and attended hospital but was released.

Upon his release from hospital, the SUV driver was taken to Chatswood Police Station, where he was charged with dangerous driving occasioning death and negligent driving occasioning death. He was granted "conditional" bail and will appear at Burwood Local Court on March 12.
