James Gilleece, 21, was driving home to Ararat after a visit to Warrnambool about 2.40am on Sunday, January 19.

He estimates he was travelling at about 80km/h on his motorbike through Bushfield.

A vehicle turning onto the Hopkins Highway from Bridge Road failed to give way and the two vehicles collided.

Mr Gilleece said he got off his bike and his knees buckled, leaving him lying on the road.

"He parked his car on the side of the road and left it running," Mr Gilleece said.

"He picked up my bike and moved it off the road but left me lying there."

Mr Gilleece said he was bleeding profusely and there was blood on the motorbike, the road and the man's car.

When another vehicle pulled up at the scene, the man quickly got back in his car and drove away. "He left me on the road and got back in his car," Mr Gilleece said.

At that moment adrenalin kicked in for Mr Gilleece, who memorised the man's number plate.

"There was blood pouring out from my nose, blood all over the road and his car but he just got back in his car and drove off," he said.

Mr Gilleece said he was shocked by the man's actions and knows he is lucky to be alive. "I'm a very, very lucky boy," he said.

Mr Gilleece said the next people who arrived on the scene, two women, were more than helpful.

"There are scumbags in this world but what I would say is that everyone else has been so supportive," he said.

Mr Gilleece said the women covered him in a blanket, called for assistance and reassured him help was on the way.

He was rushed to South West Healthcare's Warrnambool Base Hospital and underwent surgery for a number of broken bones in his right arm.

Police have charged a man in relation to the hit and run incident.
