Jeremy Vine has filmed his own bike being crushed by a lorry in a cycle lane.

The BBC Radio 2 presenter was cycling in Bloomsbury, central London, at about 11am on Wednesday when his bike was crushed by the hauler.

He was approaching a crossroad junction next to Tavistock Square when the white removals van veered down a bike lane the wrong way.

The dramatic incident was caught on Mr Vine’s 360-degree helmet camera, which he uses to film his daily commute and often posts videos on Twitter of altercations on London’s roads.

The footage often triggers lively debates between cyclists and motorists.

With Mr Vine’s Brompton-type bicycle heading directly for the oncoming van, which then turned right down the bike lane, the broadcaster shouted “no, no!” and furiously honked his horn.

Mr Vine, an avid cycling campaigner, then stopped directly behind the lorry, at which point it began reversing and running over his bike.

The BBC and Channel 5 presenter then started slamming his hands on the back of the lorry, to no avail, as it crushed his bicycle while Mr Vine shouted “stop!” and horns blared in the background.

The camera then panned around to a visibly shaken Mr Vine, refusing to make eye contact with another man who appeared to be the lorry driver, who retrieved the bike from under the vehicle.

Posting the 50-second video on Twitter just before noon, Mr Vine wrote:
