A motorcyclist was rushed to hospital after being knocked off his bike by a car turning left across his path on a green light as he continued straight from a right-turn lane at speed.

The crash happened in the city of Kazan, Russia, at 2:28pm on Monday, 19th May.

CCTV footage shows a white Kia Rio cutting across oncoming traffic and smashing into the motorcycle as it passed through the intersection.

Police said the driver of the car was a 48-year-old man from Turkmenistan who had received his Russian driving licence in 2024.

The 36-year-old biker, a local man with more than three years of riding experience, was heading straight through the crossing when the car turned into him.

He was thrown off his bike and suffered injuries of varying severity.

Medics took him to hospital for emergency treatment.

Traffic officials have urged all drivers to take extra care at intersections and always obey right-of-way rules.
