Horror moment motorcyclist crashes head-on into another biker leaving him with amputated leg after smash
THIS is the horrifying moment a motorcyclist smashed head-on with a fellow biker while overtaking in the rain.
Distressing dashcam footage shows Kathryn Goff, 52, riding along the A3052 Sidford to Colyton, in Devon.
At around 5.45pm on March 9, 2023, Goff decides to overtake a RAC recovery van towing her partners car.
As she comes to the front of the vehicle, an oncoming motorcyclist appears through the rain.
Goff’s Kawasaki bike smashes head on with the Honda motorcycle.
Devon and Cornwall Police confirmed the rider had to have their leg amputated as a result of the horror.
Meanwhile Goff, of Milton Road in Exeter, appeared at Exeter Crown Court for sentencing on Friday.
She pleaded guilty to causing serious injury by dangerous driving and was sentenced to 20 months in prison.
Goff will also be disqualified from holding a licence for four years.
Officer in the case, Alan Kennedy from the Serious Collisions Investigation Team, said: “Kathryn Goff’s actions on the day of the collision resulted in an injury which has changed the life of another motorcycle rider.
“This was a totally avoidable collision.
“Goff’s riding fell far below the standard expected of a road user and the decision to perform the overtake was made even worse by the poor weather conditions at the time.
“We hope this case will serve as a reminder that every manoeuvre can have tragic consequences.”
This comes after other horror road accidents have been captured on camera across the country.
A Ford Transit ploughed head first into two cars after driving the wrong way on an A-road.
Horrifying dashcam footage shows the vehicle hurtling down the A30 Sherborne Road, in Yeovil, Somerset.
It then smashes straight into an oncoming red Toyota Yaris, causing debris to fly across the carriageway.
The Yaris is pushed onto the other side of the road, as a Volkswagen Polo unavoidably crashes into them both.
Emergency services rushed a man and woman, both in their 20s, to hospital with serious injuries following the smash.
A man in his 60s was also transported to hospital by air ambulance with serious injuries.
Cops later charged Benjamin Charles Foster, 35, in relation to the incident.
Elsewhere, dramatic footage captured the moment a driver barreled into oncoming traffic after his dodgy bid to overtake a lorry backfired.
Norman Chai from Woking, Surrey, was sentenced for causing a serious road collision that left four people with severe injuries.
And this is the moment a Lamborghini worth £200,000 crashed into an oncoming car in a posh leafy village.
The black Huracan was driving through an affluent Cheshire village before the collision.
