The freak accident was caught on camera by a fellow cyclist and uploaded to Facebook on Monday.
The footage shows Rebecca setting the pace at the front of a group of riders who are making their way through the south-east Queensland countryside.
A kangaroo can then be seen innocently hopping from the right-hand side of the road towards the group.
Rebecca has little time to react and makes heavy contact with the intercepting roo, who bounces off her.
The kangaroo rotates in the air, miraculously landing on its legs before hopping off, seemingly uninjured.
Meanwhile, the cyclist appears to come off second best after crashing into the ground.
The Facebook post revealed that Rebecca ‘has had a good laugh’ about the accident despite her injuries.
