A lucky cyclist walked away with minor injuries after an horrific head-on smash with a car.

Patrick Knetemann, 34, was riding around the outskirts of London when he was involved in a collision with a car which catapulted him onto the bonnet.

He shatters the windscreen before crashing to the ground with a bone-crunching thud.


The bike is sent somersaulting into the air.

The entire episode was caught on a camera attached to the handlebars.

Patrick, who survived with fractures to cervical discs in his neck, said: ‘He came out of nowhere. The impact was so quick I had no time to stop. I hit the windscreen with my shoulder and it shattered straight away – that shows how fast and hard he hit me.’



The car sped off and police have launched an investigation into the incident.
