Cyclist thrown off bike after colliding with overtaking van in London

A dramatic video has emerged of a cyclist crashing into a van as it overtakes him in Bromley, London, UK.

The footage, shot last month with a helmet mounted camera, captures the moment the cyclist is thrown off his bike as he rear ends what appears to be a BT vehicle when it suddenly brakes.

The cyclist wrote online that the driver "state[d] afterwards that he did not see the car coming towards him."

The cyclist suffered cuts and grazes and his bike was out of alignment.
