Cyclist's amazing escape caught on dashcam

Shocking new dashcam footage has captured the moment a cyclist is knocked to the ground after being accidentally 'doored' by a van driver. The cyclist then has a lucky escape by narrowly avoiding being crushed by the vehicle behind him which filmed the incident. Video of the the crash was released yesterday (Thurs) to highlight the dangers cyclists face from motorists who open their car doors without looking. It is estimated that there are around 600 ‘dooring’ incidents each year but cycling groups reckon the true figure is much higher.
