SYDNEY — A cyclist from Sydney has captured the moment he was hit by a car with a bike camera.

Paul Ludlow, from Gladesville, was riding home from work in October when he was taken out at an intersection in Crow's Nest by a car. Ludlow had a Fly6 camera attached to his seat pole, so the entire incident was caught on film and allowed for verification of his version of events.

"He had a green light, I had a green light. We were both coming towards each other but he should have given way to me coming through the lights but for whatever reason he didn't see me," Mr Ludlow told Fairfax Media.

Ludlow wrote on his YouTube channel that the footage helped police discover who was in the wrong.

"Once the police saw the footage they could make an informed decision based on visual facts rather than he said, she said," he said. "The driver has now accepted that the police declared him in the wrong. Without the footage, a different outcome could have occurred.﻿"

After being hit, Ludlow flew into the window before landing on the ground. His bicycle ended up in two pieces on the road. He had to be treated in hospital after glass embedded into his shoulder.
