DANA POINT, Calif. (KABC) -- Horrifying surveillance video shows a sedan striking a bicyclist at a Dana Point intersection before the driver allegedly exited the car and assaulted the victim, who later died at a hospital.
The dramatic collision, which launched the bike and the cyclist into the air, occurred shortly after 3 p.m. Wednesday at Pacific Coast Highway and Crown Valley Parkway.
Footage of the moment of impact was captured by a Ring doorbell camera mounted in front of a nearby home.
According to authorities, the man behind the wheel of the car then stopped, exited the vehicle and assaulted the male victim with a knife.
"Upon arrival, deputies found Michael John Mammone, 58, a cyclist, lying in the intersection suffering from severe injuries," the Orange County Sheriff's Department said in a news release.
Mammone was transported to a hospital, where he died.
Mammone worked as an emergency room physician at Providence Mission Hospital in Laguna Beach. He worked as an ER doctor at Mission Hospital since 2011.
In a statement Mission Hospital said: "We are stunned by this devastating tragedy. The entire Mission Hospital family is grieving over the loss of an incredible physician and friend. "
ABC7 spoke with a neighbor who declined to be interviewed on camera. She said her family heard what sounded like a "gunshot" before the attack. When they ran outside, she said, they heard the suspect uttering racial slurs about "white privilege."
