Not all dashcam captured events are of people wrecking into each other. Some capture completely unfortunate events like this one. We're not sure what exactly happened here to cause a manhole to shoot upward and flip over this unlucky and unsuspecting motorist.
The absence of visible steam may rule out an over pressure event. There's also the possibility of a combination of excess pressure and the car driving over the manhole, enough to cause the manhole to violently shoot upwards. Regardless, this is a prime example of poor timing. Hopefully the driver is ok.

In Russia, manhole covers you (said in the best fake Yakov Smirnoff accent).
ha ha i was going to say the same
Are you assuming that holes Gender? ;)
Was the cyclists fault
Nope, if that dickhead in the Skoda wasn't driving so slow this would have never happend
I do not like that no one knows why this happened lol.
I maybe wrong but it looked like the manhole cover had worked loose and was uneven. The tire hit it at the right angle to cause a pinch with the force speed and wieght of the car pushed it upwards rear wheels hitting the hole and cover coming up forced it to role only a suggestion
I think you might be right
