Limps to roadside

After the accident, the cyclist picks himself up before gingerly limping towards the pavement.

He proceeds to lie on the grass patch, while two bystanders check on him.

However, the bicycle remained in the middle of the road, as motorists carefully manoeuvred around it.

The driver can also be seen parked up along the side of the road, with his hazard lights switched on.
