Shocking footage has emerged of the moment a car mowed down a group of cyclists, knocking the riders down like dominoes.

Video of the event captured on Morrison Road Midland, near Perth in Western Australia, on Saturday shows a troop of bike riders travelling along the side of the road.

A number of cars overtake them without a problem, before one in particular appears to get angry and hits a cyclist, sending him flying.

The group were sticking to the left-hand side of the road two abreast as the law permits

A number of cars overtook the cyclist but this vehicle swerved towards the group

Shot through two cameras mounted on two different riders' wheels, the footage shows the cyclists travelling down the left-hand side of a wide road.

A car speeds up on their right hand side, narrowly missing three of them. The footage then cuts to vision from another bike.

It shows the speeding vehicle clipping the side of one of the bicycle, sending its rider flying off in the opposite direction.

That cyclist is flung into the one beside him and the group all tumble to the ground with a loud crash. A bike can also be seen flying through the air after its rider was flipped off it.

According to the Cycle Facebook page where the video initially appeared, the group caught up with the car at next lights, took down the number plate and reported the driver to police. 

'More importantly the riders are OK, cuts, bruises and a little missing bark, but they are fine,' the post said.

'This is a horrible crime, a Hit'n'Run is a most disgusting way to treat another human being. If you hurt someone, you own your error, you ensure everyone is OK and you deal with it.'
