Horrifying footage shows a cyclist being mowed down by a speeding 12-year-old boy who was being taught to drive by his dad.
The collision was caught CCTV in the resort village of Mykolaivka, Crimea, a Ukrainian territory annexed by Russia.
In the footage, a man calmly rides his bicycle along an empty highway when a blue speeding Mitsubishi Space comes racing into view.
The car then turns sideways as it skids out of control and, raising a cloud of dust, crashing into the man.
The powerful impact sends cyclist flying into the air before he lands hard on the tarmac along with his wrecked bicycle.
Reports say the Mitsubishi stopped 60 feet further after ramming into a parked Ford.
A boy can be seen watching on in horror as the crash unfolds in front of him.
Nobody was seriously injured or hospitalised following the incident, say local media.
