Be careful on the roads.

Johnny Eutah was cycling to work on Tuesday morning when he witnessed an accident between a cyclist and a car.

Johnny, who was wearing a helmet cam, was at on Eglington Road near Donnybrook when a guy overtook him on the outside.

The guy was going pretty fast and failed to anticipate the car in front of him was about to stop and this happened.

The collision was bad but could have been a lot worse and thankfully nobody was injured.

The car took a bit of a beating though, the cyclist’s leg smashed in the boot.

Speaking under the Facebook video, Johnny said: “He got up and talked to the car owner but the driver never got out and I don’t think details were exchanged.

“I talked to the cyclist after and he seems like a nice guy, just made a mistake, stupid mistake all be it.”
