No, I've seen this before. I think they show it in Sweden on bike shows to show what a 280 km/h side impact can do. From what I remember there were 4 casualties.

Looks like another case of "left turning BDC violates rider's right-of-way..."

 

I can hardly wait until all the cages are on auto-pilot w/ radar-threat avoidance so the computer will keep the dang thing immobile when there's a rapidly approaching motorcycle...

As far as I can make out they're useless anyway, never mind in an impact like this. Jude collected a huge 'Roo this morning and wrote off the Toyota. The rad and air-con evaporator have been pushed right into the block and the airbag didn't deploy! So much for this wonderful *safety* technology

I hope Jude is OK!

 

I only saw one kangaroo in the whole 2 monthes I spent in OZ and it was dead - roadkill. I thought it was only sleeping ....
