Filmed before dawn on a morning commute on Thursday, it appears the cyclist and driver are having some form of ongoing verbal exchange before the crash.
However, the sound quality is very poor. And it is also not clear what the exchange is about.
When the cyclist stops after crashing, the wind is no longer muffling the audio.
The sound is better and the cyclist’s frustration, and shock at having crashed in the way he did, is very clear to hear.
The incident occurred in Dublin’s north inner city at Ballybough just south of the bridge over the Royal Canal and railway line.
