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.
She said: "There was a white thing that flashed, knocked me off my bicycle, and then I fainted."
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.
Officer Zhou Zhengbin said: "The driver didn't control the passengers after he stopped the car. A passenger pushed the car door open just as an electric bicycle rode past.
"There is an obvious mark on the car door."
The SUV driver was taken into custody pending a further investigation.
