The shocking video of a head-on crash which left biker with broken back
WARNING: Some readers may find video distressing - Police have released the footage of the crash, which happened in the Peak District, to urge people to drive carefully and show the importance of bikers wearing protective gear

The experienced rider, from Barnsley, South Yorkshire, suffered a broken back, a broken sternum and a broken wrist in the crash, while his motorbike was destroyed on impact.
The driver involved in the incident, which occurred on Mortimer Road in the Peak District, near Stocksbridge, in April last year, has now been jailed for 16 months.
"Thankfully, the motorcyclist was wearing a full leather, air bag suit which activated and inflated as he was propelled off his bike. Without it, in a collision at this speed, he would most likely have died.”
