Video: Close shave for lucky biker

1 February, 2013 | by Benedict Pather

A truck collapsing at a busy intersection in China

This is why it’s important to remain alert while using the road – even when parked at a red robot. CCTV footage in East China captured a 19-ton moving truck collapsing onto its side, barely missing a motorcyclist on the oncoming end. The relieved motorcyclist (and truck driver) escaped the potentially fatal incident unharmed, his bike however was not so lucky.
