A young dad is fighting for his life in hospital after he was hit by a motorbike and left in the middle of a busy road in Queensland. 

Connor McLeod, 25, was crossing at the intersection of Kingston Road and Battle Street in Loganlea, 30km south of Brisbane, at about 5.40pm on Tuesday when he was struck by an unregistered trail bike.

Dashcam footage from a passing motorist caught the shocking moment the bike rider fled the scene after smashing into Mr McLeod.

The video showed Mr McLeod had legally crossed the road - walking on a green signal at the crossing. 

Just seconds later, he was hit by the bike, with the force throwing its rider to the ground.

The trail bike rider was then seen picking up his bike after the collision and briefly looking back at Mr McLeod lying unconscious on the road.

Witnesses rushed to Mr McLeod's aid, with one claiming the bike rider 'hobbled' onto his bike before quickly fleeing the scene.   

'(He) looked at the guy lying on the ground and was like "nope I'm not going there" and took off,' witness Kristan Simpson told 9News.

Mr McLeod suffered serious injuries in the crash including collapsed lungs, a broken arm, broken ribs, facial fractures, a brain bleed and a broken neck. 

The father-of-one recently got engaged to Anneliese Rodger, the mother of their four-year-old daughter.

Ms Rodger said she knew something was wrong when her fiancé was not answering his phone.

Using a location-sharing app, Ms Rodger was able to track Mr McLeod's movements from the crash to PA Hospital.  

'From then I pretty much knew, but I was still spam-calling his phone hoping that it wasn't him, and eventually the hospital called me,' Ms Rodger said.

'It's really hard to believe someone would get back up and leave.'

An investigation into the crash in ongoing, as police hunt for the motorbike rider.

Anyone who witnessed the crash, has CCTV or dashcam footage - showing the bike rider's movements prior to and after the crash - is being urged to contact police.
