This is the moment a motorcycle racer's head was nearly crushed during a multi-bike pile-up at a circuit in Indonesia.

Footage filmed at the Gajah Mada 2018 Championship Open Road Race in Bukittinggi, Sumatra,

As the peleton of contestants in the 135cc-class race rounds a corner, multiple bikers pile up and fall over each other.

One biker, in white, tumbles over his handlebars and a bike narrowly misses driving straight over his head.

He is dragged out of the road before more damage is done.

Locals watching the race were reportedly disappointed that race officials allowed so many competitors to start one race.

Saftey was also reportedly an issue, with many fans spilling out from the stands and onto the track.

The clip was filmed on July 15.

Bike racer had an accident hit by another bike's driver and his head was almost crushed when he fell after passing the cornering path. Luckily, even though he could not continue the race, but the open OMR King 135cc class racer did not suffer serious injuries.

This incident occurred in the Gajah Mada 2018 Championship Open Road Race held on the By-Pass Kusuma Bhakti road, Gulai Bancah, under the Bukittinggi City Hall office, West Sumatra, Indonesia on Sunday, July 15, 2018, at about 3.00 pm.

In this class race, 25 RX-King types of motorcycles sped up to be the first to reach the finish line.

However, the participants and onlookers regretted the action of the match committee who competed too many drivers in one start. The committee was also considered negligent with the security and safety of the audience, because when the race took place many onlookers were seen left to cross the track.
