The craziest video of car-on-cyclist violence you’ll see all day
A car slammed into a Critical Mass-style bicycle rally in the Brazilian city of Porto Alegre Friday and video of the incident has just hit the web. No one was killed but at least 16 people were injured. Click through for the footage, which shows a sedan plowing through a crowd of cyclists, with helmets, people and bikes flying in all directions. The Guardian has some details in English, reporting that the driver turned himself to police yesterday. His lawyer claims the driver was acting in self-defence after cyclists tried to overturn his car. Another rally, protesting the grim outcome of the first, is set to be held tonight in the same city.
