This Nasty-Looking Crash Punishes A Cyclist For Running A Red Light

We don’t necessarily have anything against cyling; only cyclists who don’t abide by the rules. This man in the Canadian city of Ottowa found out the hard way what happens when you flout the law.

Approaching from the left of shot, the rider flies out into the road at 90 degrees to the oncoming traffic, running a red light. The camera car, the driver of which was just trying out their new dash-cam for the first time, sees the bare-headed rider coming and slows to avoid a crash, but the unsighted driver on the right doesn’t. The impact sends the twisted bike flying to the opposite pavement while the cyclist picks himself up off the road, apparently not hurt too badly.

Via the description beneath the YouTube video upload, the driver implies that the footage should help the family in the car that hit the bike to sort any blame issues out once and for all.
