Terrifying moment cyclist tumbles into the back of a moving rubbish lorry after losing control on a steep hill
A video has caught the terrifying moment a cyclist tumbles into the back of a moving rubbish lorry after losing control on a steep hill.
Onboard footage from the back of the bin lorry shows the man speeding up as he follows the truck down a hill in Newlyn, Cornwall.
When the lorry brakes, the cyclist is unable to stop, sending him over the handlebars into the back of the lorry.

In the clip his legs and his bike, which also tumbled into the back, can be seen poking out the truck.
The man, who appears shocked, then lies between rubbish bags until the truck stops and three passers-by rush over to help him.
The cyclist was uninjured, but the fate of his bike is currently unknown.
The driver reportedly hit the binbags with such force that his helmet fell off, according to CornwallLive.
