This is the hilarious moment men on a motorcycle are given a soaking when a truck apparently carrying a load of water suddenly braked.

The video was captured by the driver of a vehicle from behind who said it was captured in Chaozhou, China, on December 24.

The video starts with the truck pulling up to a crossing with the motives behind then following it out of the junction of the network.

But slow-moving traffic causes the heavily laden truck to break unexpectedly hard, at which point it is revealed that appears bizarrely to be carrying a load of water.

This mass of water then rushes forward before splashing backwards and then erupting into the air when it hits the rear door.

The resultant mass of water sent into the air then splashes onto the nearby lane just as a motorcycle with two young men on it ride past leaving them completely drenched, to the obvious annoyance.

They can be heard shouting in shock and surprise as the truck then starts off and disappears into the distance.

It is unclear why a truck rather than a tanker was being used to move the water and also unclear how it was sealed to stop the water running out.

Some eyewitnesses speculated that the lawyer was probably carrying live fish.

Eventually, both parties continued on their separate ways.
