Three teens fly through the air in confronting collision
The shocking clip was uploaded to Dash Cam Owners Australia, captured the white hatchback driving through a green light. In a split second, three teens, who were all crammed on a Honda scooter, collided with the side of the car.
Running a red light, the teens slammed into the vehicle, thrown through the air by the force and crashed to the ground some 15 metres away.
None of the teenagers were wearing helmets.
As drivers stopped to check on the incident, two of the three remained writhing on the ground while the third stood up, still able to walk, albeit with a heavy limp.
Seconds later, another scooter arrived, and the back passenger ran to check on an injured rider on the ground, who was suspected of having spinal injuries.
The third of the injured teens shuffled over to the second scooter and jumped on before speeding off, leaving the original passenger with the injured men.
“The kid in the middle got on the other bike and took off,” the video caption read.
“Jesus!” a man can be heard saying in the car. “F***ing hell!” Onlookers ran to the injured teens, aged 16, who were still writhing on the ground.
