This horrific footage shows the sickening moment a cyclist collided with a car at high speed at a busy junction in west London.

Myles Gatherer, 29, suffered a fractured hand and acute back pain when he was involved in a collision on New Kings Road, near Parsons Green.

Footage captured from a camera attached to his helmet shows Mr Gatherer cycle around two pedestrians at a set of traffic lights before he is involved in a collision with an oncoming car.

Mr Gatherer, a civil engineer from Surbiton, said he had cycled in London for seven years but feels the roads are unsafe, suggesting some arterial routes should be closed to cars.

He has been unable to use his bike since he suffered the injuries on October 14.

He told the Standard: "I was approaching a set of traffic lights on New Kings Road at approximately 20mph.

"When approaching the green lights two pedestrians crossed in front of me.

"I took the decision to manoeuvre around the pedestrians, after I cleared the pedestrians I entered the junction.

"When I entered the junction it became clear that a vehicle located at the oncoming side of the road intended to move across my trajectory.

Mr Gatherer said following the collision he has been unable to quantify the damage to his bike because it is still being assessed.

He remains in talks with the driver involved. Police were called to the scene but the road was not closed.
