Cyclist Ben Hermans Rides Over Cat

Like a car accident you can't look away from, a video of a black cat crossing the path in a Belgian bike race -- and getting run over by cyclist Ben Hermans -- has gone viral on YouTube. The video is below, but if you love cats, you probably don't want to watch.



Hermans couldn't swerve to avoid the cat, so he had no choice but to go right over it. Fortunately, none of the riders crashed.

The bizarre image of a bicycle riding over a cat has become big news in Belgium, with headlines like "Ben Hermans Rijdt Over Kat." So far I haven't been able to find any news on the condition of the cat.
