Google Maps Street View photographed the woman as she biked along a road in a rural part of Japan. She wears a large visor on her head as she emerges onto a street and makes a turn. However, it’s at this point when matters go drastically wrong for the unfortunate cyclist. And the entire episode was caught by Google Maps in an entertaining series of photos.

In the second photo, the woman appears to be losing her balance as she rounds the corner and the Google car approaches her.
One leg can be seen sticking out as her bike rides perilously close to a ditch by the side of the road.
In the next shot, the female cyclist has been snapped just as she falls off the bike.
It would seem the slippery verge caused her to tumble off and her bike can be seen at an angle.
The woman - caught motionless in the still image - looks to be holding out her hand towards the nearby wall to block her fall.
The fourth photo is the most entertaining for Google Maps Street View users - but was probably the worst bit of the episode for the poor woman.
