This is the terrifying moment a young cyclist cheated death when they came inches away from being crushed between a car and a bus in a shocking hit and run.

The rider was seen cycling past a single-decker at 8.18am on Tuesday (5/6) when they were mown down by a black Renault Clio.

Dashcam footage released by Leicestershire Police shows the moment the cyclist was sent sprawling across the road as the bike went under the car's wheels.
