Nanaimo RCMP are investigating a shocking video showing what appears to be a cyclist being pushed across an oncoming traffic lane by a passing motorcyclist, leading him to crash onto a sidewalk Saturday evening.
A still taken from dashcam video of the moment a cyclist appears to be shoved by a passing motorcyclist, causing him to crash in Nanaimo Saturday, Aug. 2, 2025.
Harlunn Anderson was driving in the opposite direction when it happened, with the cameras on his Tesla vehicle capturing the entire thing before he got out to help the injured cyclist, who he estimated to be between 60 and 70 years old. Anderson said both he and the cyclist reported the incident to police, who have opened a file for the case, and that he submitted the surveillance video to investigators.“They gave us some identifiers for the motorcyclists that we were able to follow up on, so we have identified the motorist.”“The owner of one of the motorcycles, seeing the officer in uniform, came up to him and said to him, ‘Can I tell you what happened?’ So he identified himself as the person,” she explained.
