A CYCLIST was almost crushed by a lorry at a busy junction - but the internet is divided over who is at fault.

Dramatic footage shows a group of riders pull up next to the HGV as they wait for traffic lights to turn green.

The cyclist and driver cross the box junction without issue as the other bikers form a single-file line next to the pavement.

But the lorry then suddenly appears to swerve into the cyclist - almost dragging him under the lorry's massive wheels.

The driver then stops in the middle of the road as the cyclist calls him a "f***ing idiot".

As he yells "look where you are in the road", the irate driver then jumps out of the lorry and starts arguing with him.

He shouts: "Are you f***ing kidding, mate?

"You've gone in the left-hand lane and come on my inside on an artic(ulated lorry).

"When over and over it tells you on the adverts 'do not go on the f***ing left-hand side of an artic'."

The cyclist and another rider tell the driver they have everything on film as he continues shouting.

The clip, which was posted on YouTube, has now divided the internet - with some claiming the driver was at fault and others blaming the cyclist.

One person wrote: "Why is he stupid enough to cycle up there? just hang back behind the lorry!"

Another commented: "Why on earth would you sit on the left of a lorry, in its blind spot, in the left turn lane then cut the lorry up where the driver has no chance of seeing you?"
