THIS is why you should always look both ways before crossing the road.

The Press was sent this dashcam video from a reader who was waiting in Walmgate early one evening last week.

The driver, who asked not to be named, said the man in the white t-shirt ran straight into the road, colliding with a Deliveroo cyclist in the street, sending them both to the ground.

He said: "The man just ran out of the Spread Eagle pub and into the road, he didn't look and collided with the Deliveroo cyclist.

"The cyclist helped the guy up. He was shaken but managed to stand, and the cyclist appeared to be fine."

Thankfully, nobody was hurt in the incident, but it serves as a reminder to check both ways before crossing the road.
