An off-road rider was washed away while trying to cross through fast-flowing mountain rapids.

Helmet-camera footage shows the first two riders struggling to maneuver their bikes against the strong current. Smoke could be seen coming from their vehicles as they tried to cross the turbulent Siwasiw River in Sual, Pangasinan, Philippines on August 28.

In the video, one rider can be heard saying, 'Someone will help you; just put your bike on full throttle,' encouraging the next rider to cross the river.

Moments later, the rider, known by his hobby name of 'Sir Togs', gathered all his courage and attempted to cross the turbulent knee-deep stream. He accelerated his bike but fell into the water. His fellow riders rushed in to help him retrieve his bike from the river.

Jesson, also known as JO, captured the dramatic scene as his fellow riders tried to cross the mountain rapids.
