Video: Full extended footage of "cyclist being milled by truck", adds context of scary smash

Below is the full footage - all six minutes - of the events before and after this cyclist was hit by a truck. Our story from yesterday has prompted a lot of comment on social media.

 

We published a story yesterday, Tuesday, containing a video in which a cyclist was hit by a truck at a junction where a number of lanes merged.

You can read the piece and see the video here:

Video: Cyclist milled by speeding truck, but who was in the wrong?

The original clip was very short and began just seconds before the moment the truck hit the cyclist, who thankfully survived.

The video below is of the same incident but is much longer.

It covers the rider's cycling for a period before he reached the junction where the collision occurred and shows more of the aftermath of the smash.

Our initial story prompted a lot of debate in the messages section that appears below all of our stories and also on social media.

Given that high level of interest, we felt it was worth running this long clip.
