Whose fault is it? Shocking moment cyclist involved in hit and run
THIS is the shocking moment a cyclist thunders into a car after it shot across his path on a busy road before driving away like nothing happened.
SHOCKING moment cyclist is knocked off bike in hit and run
The biker, who goes by the name BrokenLegs on Twitter, was left in a heap on the wet tarmac as the grey Volkswagen Polo disappeared into the distance.
BrokenLegs filmed the entire event on his head cam and the terrifying footage shows him cycling along a road while the traffic starts to come to a standstill in front of him.
Then, seemingly out of nowhere, the silver vehicle swerves through a gap in traffic and takes a sharp right.
The cyclist cannot get out of the way in time and smashes into the back of the car with a loud crash and an audible "ow".
The bike is thrown into the air and thunders back into the ground.
The GoPro footage captures the moment the crash took place
The cyclist's bike flew up into the air and he let out a groan
GoPro camera shows the driver of the car nonchalantly drive away, not even pausing for a second.
It is clear the cyclist is struggling to get his head around what has just happened, moaning loudly and moving his head around as if trying to get his bearings.
The Tweet @BrokenLegs put out in the wake of the crash
Writing on Twitter, the biker said: “If anyone can help to identify the number plate of this hit and run on me, so I can inform the police, please let me know.”
It is not known if the driver has since made contact with the cyclist or if the incident has since been reported to the authorities.
It is the latest in an ever-increasing number of revealing head or dash cam videos being posted on social media.
Recently, the police released dash cam footage of a Polish lorry driver who was on his phone when he drove into the back of a family's car, killing four people.
