A cyclist had a close escape when cycling along Tai Au Mun Road in Clear Water Bay Thursday (12/11) afternoon. Online media clips show a cyclist descending northbound along Tai Au Mun Road near the entrance to the High Junk Peak Mountain Bike Trail. A white car suddenly crosses into the opposite lane. The cyclist turns to the left to dodge it and brakes suddenly. The cyclist somersaults in the air to avoid a collision.

The 40-year-old female driver of the car got out of the car to check the situation. Onlookers also stepped forward to help. 

Video is available here.

The police classified the case as a traffic accident with one person slightly injured; no-one has been arrested. Some netizens who watched the clip denounced the driver of the private car for recklessness. There was a parking spot on the northbound line to allow the vehicle to stop. They questioned that the driver would cross the line without checking the traffic.
