Motorcyclist escapes overturning lorry in China - video

Footage of an overturning truck in Eastern China shows a miracle miss for one motorcyclist, who was waiting at the traffic lights of an intersection.

The motorbike rider had been waiting on the pedestrian crossing just ahead of the cars behind him in the city of Linhai in the Zhejiang province.



The truck driver, who was driving towards the city of Ningbo, was making a turn when the vehicle lost balance and fell sideways, almost crushing the waiting motorcyclist.

The video footage shows the motorcyclist jump off his vehicle to get out of the way as the truck lands on its side, forcing the bike backwards.

There were no injuries in the accident.
