A video of a young cyclist getting taken out by a car at a Christchurch roundabout is going viral.
The footage, taken from inside a vehicle, shows a car failing to give way at a roundabout and smashing straight into the child on a bike.
Luckily, the child - who was accompanied by an adult on another bike - jumps up and runs to the side of the road.
The video was uploaded to a Facebook page, Shocking Christchurch Drivers, yesterday afternoon and in less than 18 hours had grabbed the attention of more than 24,000 viewers.
