Shocking video of the moment a cyclist was hit by a car at a Chicago intersection, sending him cartwheeling over the vehicle.

In the video, the cyclist, who is not wearing a helmet, appears to run a red light.

The driver stops her vehicle and a fire engine arrives on the scene.

Writes the filmer: " On Tuesday, June 18 a cyclist in Chicago slowly pedals into the intersection of Halsted and Roosevelt, appearing to have breached the intersection on a red light when he's suddenly forcibly hit, sending the man over the car's roof and landing several feet away.

"The incident occurred at approximately 5:45 p.m. in the 700 block of West Roosevelt Road. The bicyclist, a 32-year-old man was taken to Stroger Hospital in critical condition.

"The 22-year-old female driver of the car remained on the scene and was not cited by the police."

According to a local website, the injured man was taken to a hospital. A woman who identified herself as the mother of the cyclist said that he was later "alert and oriented," the website reported.

A cyclist was struck by a moving car at the intersection of Roosevelt and Halsted (in the University of Illinois Chicago area) at about 5:45pm CST on Tuesday July 18th, 2017.

The 32-year-old male cyclist (heading south along Halsted) was hit at the intersection by a car travelling (west along Roosevelt) driven by a 22-year-old female, resulting in a severe impact that sent the cyclist flying up into the air over her vehicle - partially landing along the Sedan's rear, before crashing back down onto the street where he laid motionless indefinitely.

The female driver remained on the scene and was not cited by the Chicago Police.

While several witnesses were eventually interviewed by the police (who had arrived several minutes after the Chicago Firetruck), hopefully, this video footage will help to clarify the sequence of events associated with this tragedy.
