In the accident, both the motorcyclist and pedestrian ended up in the hospital, and the incident was captured on video.
The footage shows the delivery driver traveling along a main road in Manly Vale before suddenly crashing after colliding with a pedestrian and skidding down the inside lane.
Visibly shocked, the driver runs from the wreckage before returning, as a Good Samaritan races over to the injured man’s side.
As the number of helpers grows, paramedics arrive on scene and they weren’t taking any chances.
Police followed soon after, shutting down Condamine Street as emergency services tended to the 53-year-old pedestrian.
His injuries were so severe that critical care paramedics were flown in to treat the man roadside.
“The primary injuries were head injuries and he had a decreased level of consciousness,” Kylie O’Brien from NSW Ambulance said.
“He was intubated and transported by road with the medical team to Royal North Shore Hospital.”
He has now been stabilised but the injuries are described as serious.
No charges have been filed yet, but authorities are reviewing the actions of the delivery driver, who also sustained hip, hand, and facial injuries and was taken to the hospital.
