This is the shocking moment a biker weaving through traffic is sent flying after crashing into a van door - landing on a woman begging in the street.

Dashcam footage shows the woman holding a sign and approaching cars for money in Penza, Russia, on Friday, July 25.

She appears to speak briefly with the driver of a white van before noticing the approaching biker and stepping back to let him pass.

But just as the rider nears, the van driver suddenly opens his door, causing the biker to slam into it.

The impact sends the biker hurtling into the woman and another vehicle. He is seen wincing in pain as he gets up, while the woman also appears to have been hurt.

Both the van driver and the owner of the second vehicle get out to check the scene as the video ends.

Local media did not identify the biker or the woman, and it remains unclear whether either sustained serious injuries.

Police are investigating the incident.
