The severe crash caused the motorcycle to overturn and threw the cyclist off the vehicle.
The rider was seriously injured and sent to a hospital; however, the driver of the car was unharmed.
A viral video posted on the Facebook page SG Road Vigilante – SGRV shows the Kawasaki ZX10R rider driving at high speed along the North-South Expressway in Malaysia.
