Ironic in a creepy, sick sort of way...

Whoa that truck door just snatches that car up like it's a candy wrapper!!! That's indeed very scary.

Holy cr*p.
OTOH, when I saw the thread title, I figured it was going to be something specific to bicycles - rear-ender, left-turner, door, whatever. It's almost reassuring that it was "garden variety" negligence that the truck driver didn't secure his door.

Apparently the truck driver got away with a couple of minor motoring offences, despite having his rear doors secured only with a coat hanger. Crazy, just crazy... They were very lucky he passed them on a left hand bend, I guess!

How did that truck door grab the car and drag it around like it was a toy, or a candy wrapper as Reesha suggested?
That's just wild! It's amazing that none of the cyclists were hit.
