The body of a cyclist who was killed when he landed on his head after his bike came off a high kerb was ignored by several passing motorists as he lay in the road.
The victim was cycling home from work when he tried to jump down and seemed to misjudge the height as his front wheel hit the road. The bicycle ended up practically vertical, throwing the man from it. In horror scenes captured on CCTV too graphic to show, he lands directly on top of his head and finally crumples to the ground. Horrifically, the footage showed several cars driving past him as he lay ignored on the road.

One car seemed to veer around him after the horror accident in Três Corações, north-east of São Paulo, Brazil, last Sunday.
According to reports, a passing paramedic eventually pulled over to attend to the injured cyclist. They said the young man had cracked his skull and was haemorrhaging blood.
The victim was taken to the nearby São Sebastião Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival. He was heading to his home in the Flora neighbourhood when he suffered the fatal accident.

Earlier this year it was reported a cyclist was on the brink of death after crashing into a cattle trailer. Jon Hill, a 62-year-old project manager from Macclesfield, was on his "favourite route" when the accident happened in August 2022.

Luckily, passing motorists spotted him and called 999 - since then, he has become friends with the strangers who rescued him and even celebrated the one-year anniversary of the accident with them. When Jon arrived at the hospital, doctors found he had broken his collarbones and ribs, and punctured his kidney.

Looking back, Jon only has fleeting memories of seeing people at his bedside and can barely remember the crash itself. With the help of physiotherapy, Jon slowly began to recover.
The near-death experience made him reassess his life, leading him to work part-time and volunteer at the North West Air Ambulance Charity to give something back.
Jon said: "I was pretty poorly. I had various fractures and a broken collarbone and broken ribs. My broken ribs punctured my kidney so when I was in hospital, they did a procedure called embolisation so they actually cut off the blood supply to the kidneys.

"So the kidney is still there, but I'm told it would just shrivel up and do nothing. I think that together with the lacerated liver was the reason why I had the problem that I had at the scene, which if without the intervention from doctors I probably wouldn't have made it I don't think I was very far from death."

The alleged murder took place at Marcado's home in Guayaquil, Ecuador, on Saturday while she streamed to the social media site. Mercado appeared to tease the suspect, named Manuel Andrés Álava Lázaro, before he allegedly pulled the trigger. Mercado told him in Spanish: 'Shoot me twice, I beg you, but later, let me get drunk.' She added: 'You'll hit me in the head twice, you'll kill me in one go, I don't want to suffer, two in the head.' Her friend was heard saying 'no, no' in the background. Mercado appeared to shout the suspect's name before he allegedly fired twice. The pal then reportedly stopped the livestream and went to her family's house to tell them of the shooting. Lázaro fled the scene on a motorbike and remains at large. He has four prior convictions for robbery, local reports said.

She also described herself as a woman with a 'beautiful soul, a strong character, a mischievous look, a pure heart, and an unforgettable smile'.

Those types of tattoos are typically associated with gang and prison culture. It comes after a beauty influencer who was shot dead during a live stream. TikTok star Valeria Marquez, 23, was killed when a man entered her beauty salon in Mexico "and fired a gun at her", according to prosecutors. According to the Jalisco Prosecutor's Office, she had been filming at Blossom The Beauty Lounge when a man entered the establishment and fired three shots at her with a gun. Meanwhile, a 25-year-old influencer was gunned down in cold blood while livestreaming on TikTok, moments after naming top officials and gang leaders he claimed were extorting him. The man begged for help as gunmen stormed his home and opened fire in a chilling ambush that played out in real time online. The shocking attack happened in Venezuela and has since sparked an investigation by the country's top prosecutor. Jesus Sarmiento, who had 87,000 TikTok followers, was seen bleeding on the floor in the disturbing clip before murmuring, 'They shot me, they shot me.'
