A woman has escaped serious injury after she was knocked off her bike when a passenger opened a car door in front of her.
The victim, whose family name is Shi, was riding home on her electric bicycle in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, when the accident took place.
A rear door of a sport utility vehicle (SUV) stopped by the roadside opened suddenly in front of her, sending her tumbling from her bike into the rear wheel of a passing truck.

The woman was taken to hospital, where she is reportedly in a stable condition.
Police located the SUV, which fled the accident, using CCTV footage.

"There is an obvious mark on the car door."
The SUV driver was taken into custody pending a further investigation.
