CRASHCAM: Motorcyclist Filmed His Own Death In Horror Smash

This is the moment a motorcyclist films himself performing a high-speed wheelie and then smashing into a car in a crash that ended up costing him his life.

The grim footage – recorded in the district of Fatih, in Istanbul, Turkey’s largest city, last week – was caught in graphic detail on biker Burak Sabay’s helmet camera.

The video shows Sabay accelerating down the road when his bike crashes into the side of a car pulling out from a side turning.

The audio from the headcam reveals a sickening crunch as the bike piles into the vehicle.

A second, undated video, shows the biker performing a high-speed wheelie on a fast-moving motorway.

According to local media, Sabay was thrown onto the road while the car driver was trapped in the vehicle.
