The 26-year-old woman had been out celebrating her new teaching job with friends over dinner at a restaurant.

After the meal, the group parted ways, and she began driving home.

As she approached the intersection, she reportedly failed to notice a motorcycle attempting a U-turn.

Moments later, her white Ford Focus collided with the motorcyclist.

Collision caught on camera

A security camera captured the fatal crash.

Footage showed the motorcycle slowly making a U-turn at the intersection when the woman’s sedan ran a red light at high speed, slamming into it.

The impact sent the motorcycle skidding, and the car dragged it approximately 30 metres, causing sparks to fly along the way.
