The cyclist claims he told the motorist he 'drives like s***', leading the SUV to purposely speed forwards and hit him before fleeing the scene
Palacios shared the stunning hit and run to his seven thousand Instagram followers, where he slammed the driver as he claimed and his dog Simba 'don't deserve this'.
'What happened? I told a bad driver he drives like s***,' he said.
'I proceeded and he rammed me from behind. And yes, he knew Simba was on the bike.
'The great thing about cargo bikes is they receive 90% of the impact. I don’t attach Simba to the bike so he’s free to go in a safe direction.'
Social media users were quick to support Palacios after footage of the crash was shared online.
'Jesus Christ, so glad you and Simba are okay - that really sucks,' said one.
Another user commented: 'The way he went after you after you got up is crazy. Glad you
