Warrego Highway motorcycle dashcam footage

Dashcam footage has emerged of what is believed to be a motorcyclist riding at extremely high speeds just moments before a fatal crash west of Ipswich earlier this week.

The police Forensic Crash Unit is still investigating after a man died when the motorbike he was riding crashed into a car towing a caravan along the Warrego Highway near Haigslea-Amberly Road at Haigslea about 12.40pm on May 27.

The man, a 22-year-old from Darling Heights, died at the scene.

Quest Newspapers has obtained dashcam footage from a motorist, believed to have been driving along that same stretch of highway minutes before the crash which other motorists described as “horrific”.

The footage purportedly showed the motorbike which crashed, believed to be the first motorbike in the video.

It appeared to weave through traffic at high speed, passing other commuters near the Redbank and Collingwood Park exit.
