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.

Emergency services took both victims to hospital, where Sabay died.

There have been no updates on the condition of the driver.
