An Indianapolis man captured a terrifying moment on camera as he was hit by a car while riding his bicycle on the near east side of Indianapolis.

Jakob Morales was riding on Brookside Parkway South Drive, near North Rural and 10th streets, around 7 p.m. Sept. 11 when he was hit by a gold Chevrolet.

"They started their turn way over there. By the time I realized what was happening, I was right in their line of travel. They didn't have a front headlight, so I didn't know what was happening. I ended up on their front windshield," Morales said.

He shattered that windshield and rolled off the side of the car and somehow landed on his feet.

"It was a lot of fear, you could see it in my face. I was scared and bracing for impact," Morales said.

To his shock and disbelief, Morales said the driver never slowed down or stopped to see if he was OK.

Anyone else see VP 453 as a tag number? The car is a Chevy Impala somewhere around 2010 and the grille looks like it's been replaced with an aftermarket crosshatch pattern part (probably from their last hit and run) instead of the stock horizontal lines type. Hope they catch the driver... what a loser. Glad you're ok Jakob! Amazing that you stayed on your feet too!

Pretty easy to track down the car. The windshield is busted. All the police have to do is some investigation into who might sell a replacement windshield for a 2014-2024 Chevrolet Impala!

This is disgusting and unacceptable. While cyclists violate traffic laws many times, this motorist was clearly in the wrong and could have killed this cyclist. Probably distracted driving on their cell phones or eating something, etc. As a cyclist, I have noticed an increase in traffic law violations by both motorists and cyclists. What has gotten into people these days?

The whole problem with drivers now is the bad attitudes are getting much worse. The drivers in Minnesota will literally push (Tailgating) another vehicle off the road. What happened to driving by the RULES/LAWS or has DMV thrown the Book out the

Get on the *sidewalk* or get in a car. Choose.

But--why was he riding in the street? Ride on the sidewalk. You are *not* a CAR. No one is on the sidewalk--ride *on* the sidewalk.

He was scared that since its all on camera, itll get out that he's a grown man on a bicycle. Wait, hows he being filmed head on?
