Terrifying footage taken by a motorcyclist's helmet-mounted camera shows the moment a car ploughed into her in a head-on crash on Point Cook Rd on the weekend.
Tahlia Hotchin was lucky to walk away with only minor bruising when a car crashed into her while trying to overtake another vehicle on Saturday night.

WELCOME TO MELBOURNE’S WORST PEAK HOUR COMMUTE
Ms Hotchin, 29, told the Leader she didn’t remember much about the incident which left her shaken and bruised.
“It happened so fast, I saw him coming towards me and there was nowhere to go so I just hit the brakes and hoped for the best,” she said.
“I don’t really remember the moment of impact but I remember flying through the air and landing on my back.”
Ms Hotchin said her motorcycle was destroyed in the smash and the car, a Hyundai Cerato, was likely also a write-off.
“There were tyre prints on his bonnet from my bike,” she said.
“The driver seemed pretty shocked, l too, and he kept apologising so I gave him a hug when I left.”
Ms Hotchin, who has been riding motorcycles for about seven years, said she was looking forward to getting back on a bike when her bruising healed.
Victoria Police has been contacted for comment.
