The woman on the bike was taking a right turn into another street when the small pick-up van hit her.
She was dragged under the vehicle and became wedged under it, her trainers looking as if they were knocked off her feet on impact.
However, a group of passers-by and the driver scrambled to her aid; lifting the vehicle off her while others pulled her out.
According to local media reports she escaped with injuries to her face and leg, which were not life threatening.
