Dramatic footage shows the motorcyclist flipped from his bike onto the roof of the moving car - desperately clinging on before calling his own ambulance
A DESPERATE motorbiker - hurt in a head on crash - called his own ambulance while clinging to the roof of the still moving car.
Guilherme Souza de Oliveira was thrown onto the roof of the yellow car after it slammed into him.
The crash destroyed the 28-year-old's motorbike but amazingly, he managed to hold on to the roof as the driver tried to flee and even managed to call his own ambulance.
In the dramatic footage caught on CCTV, the car appears to overtake a black pickup and slams into the biker travelling on the opposite side of the road in Jandira, south east Brazil.
The victim has a lucky escape as his crash helmet flies off in one direction and the smash spins and flips him onto the roof of the car but not into the path of an on-coming vehicle.
The motorist then swerves onto the pavement, runs over the motorbike and continues driving as the victim hangs on to the bars on top of the car.
Municipal civil guards (GCM), who was one of the first officers at the scene, posted footage and images of the smash on social media.
They said they were shocked they were to find the victim ‘sprawled and clinging’ to the top of the moving vehicle while phoning for help.
A GCM spokesperson said: “Guards were patrolling the area in their car and came across the incredible sight of a yellow CrossFox with a crumpled front bumper driving along with a man in motorbike gear sprawled out on the roof.
“They said they could see the man had propped himself up on one arm and was speaking on his cell phone. They said it was very bizarre.
“The guards immediately pulled the vehicle over and determined that a hit and run accident had occurred which had flung the victim on top of the car.”
Even though passers-by tried to alert the driver to his 'extra passenger' by flagging him down, the motorist was apparently unaware the victim was still with him.
It's believed he kept driving for several minutes after the accident before he was stopped.
A picture taken of the incident shows the GCM patrol vehicle parked behind the damaged car which has a dent in the bonnet, a cracked windscreen and part of the front bumper hanging off on the passenger side.
Other images show the ambulance crew helping the injured man off the roof.
Three emergency workers had to help the man from the roof of the car and on to a stretcher.
The GCM spokesperson continued: “Guilherme told officers he was clinging to the bars on top of the car to stop himself from falling off. The handles probably helped to save his life.
“The officers detained the motorist but left the victim where he was until the ambulance arrived."
Mr Oliveira suffered minor cuts and bruises and was discharged from hospital 24 hours later following tests.
The accused has been charged with dangerous driving resulting in injury and leaving the scene of the accident which happened on February 15, and is due to appear in court within the next few weeks.
