Taiwan collision YouTube stillVideo: Lucky escape of cyclist in Taiwan caught on film
A woman in Taiwan had a very lucky escape when a motorist drove through a pedestrian crossing as she rode across it. The car struck her bike, but missed the cyclist, who landed on her feet, by inches with the driver swerving an instant before the collision.
The incident was caught by a dashcam in another vehicle, with the timestamp revealing the footage was captured on the morning of 16 January.
The bicycle, which the woman retrieves calmly before continuing her journey on foot, apparently unperturbed, belongs to capital city Taipei’s Ubike cycle hire scheme, run by a subsidiary of Giant.
In common with other major hire scheme bikes around the world, the frame has a step through design - if the bicycle had a crossbar, the outcome could have been less fortunate for the rider.
