This lucky motorcyclist was saved by his helmet after he fell in front of a car and narrowly avoided having his head crushed.

The rider lost control of his vehicle and toppled over to his right a couple of feet in front of the black SUV which wasn't able to break in time.

Instead the front left wheel went straight over the back of the man's head - sending him skidding forwards along the ground.

Footage shows the injured rider curled up in a ball moving his arms and legs before fellow road users come to help him.
Another road used who captured the incident in January this year at 6pm said the injured rider eventually climbed to his feet and walked to the side of the road to wait for an ambulance.

Jovan Cassiro added: ''I was driving home when I saw the accident. The driver did nothing wrong but he reacted quickly to stop and check the motorcyclist was OK.

''The motorcyclist was shocked and injured but he was OK. He stayed at the side of the road for a while and waited for an ambulance.

''This is why helmets are important and defensive driving is better than speeding ahead and trying to overtake. The road was busy at the time.''
