This is the shocking moment a cyclist is catapulted over his handlebars after being struck by a hit-and-run motorist.

The collision - captured by a camera on his handlebars - dramatically shows office worker Patrick Knetemann, 34, going over his bike, hitting the car windscreen which shatters on impact, and tumbling over the roof, landing in the gutter behind the car.

Patrick was cycling along a road in Slough, Berks, when the Volkswagen Golf approaching from the other direction appears to swerve across his path towards the forecort of a Kwik-Fit garage.

A bullet cam on his handlebars filmed as his bike spun wildly through the air and landed 10ft away behind the 2002-registered car.

Patrick was left in agony in the gutter and the crash completely sheered off the front forks and wheel of his red BMC road bike.

The motorist callously sped off, but an off-duty paramedic came to Patrick's aid and he was rushed to Wexham Park Hospital in Slough, Berks. He escaped with only bruising and fractures.

Patrick 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.

"But I had a light on my bike, and I was wearing a bright red helmet. After one or two seconds he sped off leaving my there on the pavement."

Patrick survived the horrific collision with fractures to two cervical discs in his neck and bruising to his upper body.

Police are now using the footage to investigate the accident on June 21st in Slough's Langley Park Road.
