The impact tossed 25-year-old Michael Heater, of Newark, off the motorcycle. He vaulted onto the hood and slammed into the windshield of the SUV before falling onto the roadway.

The bike itself flew into the intersection where it hit another Jeep Cherokee, which was also stopped at the red light.

Heater was rushed to the hospital where he was last reported to be in critical condition.

Charges against Fay are pending, police say.
