In the video, Chris is making quick progress down a road and he passes two cyclists on their way up.
As he approaches a small side road a car noses out and is soon blocking the entire road.
Chris shouts in warning and alarm but is unable to go around the car as it is across the road, and he is not able to slow down in time.

"The ambulance service were great, they sent a helicopter to take me to the hospital.
“The summary of my injuries is remarkably light. I had three broken ribs, a tear to my vastus intermedius muscle (one of the quads) and lots of facial lacerations, which required me to go to theatre.”
