Shocking dashcam footage has captured the moment a Bristol driver abruptly pulls out in front of a cyclist sending them flying on Tuesday (November 12).

Captured on Maudlin Street in the city centre the car can be seen pulling across from the right-hand lane to the left-hand lane where the unsuspecting cyclist collides with the vehicle.

The filmer told Newsflare: "It was stupid and without a left wing-mirror on the car, there was no way the driver would have seen him.

"Many people were surrounding him and people were rushing into the hospital to get help."
