This is the moment a lawless cyclist who cuts across four lanes of traffic causes an unsuspecting motorist to swerve and crash into two cars on the opposite side of the road.
Traffic camera footage from the town of Qingyi, which is in Mianyang City in Sichuan Province in south-western China, has captured electric bike rider Ms Zhu’s stunt in full.
The clip from the morning of 23rd September shows Ms Zhu riding her electric bike by the side of multi-lane Mianjiang Road when she suddenly turns left and begins cutting across the thoroughfare.
Mu Zhu neither indicates nor checks for traffic before performing the dangerous manoeuvre, which causes one motorist to swerve and dodge her.
But the out-of-control saloon crashes into the side of an oncoming car in the opposite lane, sending it into a tailspin.
The same saloon then crashes into a second vehicle in reverse, rolling backwards into the side of the car as the three-vehicle collision ends.
Ms Zhu, meanwhile, witnesses the entire accident but continues to ride to the other side of the road.
Mianyang traffic police said no one was harmed during the crash, which is still being investigated.
Ms Zhu is expected to be found mainly if not fully at fault for the incident.
