A Chinese motorcyclist narrowly avoided being crushed to death by a huge lorry, which tipped over right in front of him on a tight corner in China.

Talk about staring death in his cold bony face… This lad in China is easily the luckiest bloke alive after narrowly avoiding a massive arctic lorry that overturned on a tight junction. CCTV captured the incident on a busy intersection in Linhai, Zheijiang Province and we have to say, it left us gobsmacked.

According to reports the container weighed a whopping 19-tons and while the motorcyclist managed to get out of the way in time, the front end of his bike wasn’t so lucky.

Speaking to China Central Television afterwards the driver of the truck said, “I was driving the lorry downhill, at a speed of about 10 kilometres per hour. As the road winds here, the container tilted toward the right tires, and then the container turned over, followed by the lorry head.

“When I saw the lorry turning over, I hid myself beside the seat. I was lucky, and nothing happened to me.”
