Someone ought to know it. Is it by an Australian author?

Thanks for your effort!! I'm still curious.
Road Kill by S.R. Martin? (I came across topic on abebooks: http://forums.abebooks.com/discussion... I was thinking there was similar topic here, too, but reading it now it's not so similar: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... and I found this in the search :)
yes, that is it!! thank you so much!
In the book, a kid (pretty sure a boy) is riding in the back seat of a car with his family and drops something. He unbuckles his seatbelt to pick it up, and when he looks up again he sees that a kangaroo has suddenly appeared in the road and his family hits it, sending him through the windshield I think and into the road. (I think there's something about him being the only one to see the kangaroo? I can't remember.) After this the book gets weird, I think he can't find his family again or they disappear or something. At some point he's unconscious and awakens to find himself being dragged into a cave by a bunch of small aliens. This is about all I can remember about the book.
If anyone can help me find out what this book is, I'd really appreciate it as I'd love to read it again. I just have this weird feeling associated with it and I'd like to either confirm that it was bizarre or reread it and find out it's not haha.
