The well being of the kangaroo was unknown.
The incident comes just weeks after a cyclist was wiped at by a large kangaroo while riding in Bonnah, in Queensland, on Australia Day.
The cyclist, Rebecca, was thrown odd her bike and partially dislocated her right shoulder as a result of the forceful impact.
Footage of the collision showed her setting the pace at the front of a group of riders who were making their way through the south-east Queensland countryside.
The kangaroo then emerged from the right-hand side of the road before collecting Rebecca and miraculously landing on its legs before hopping off.
