This is the nerve-wracking moment a scooter rider was almost crushed between a truck and a car.

The elderly motorist attempted to overtake the grey estate in front but veered into the path of the lorry carrying construction debris in Taipei, Taiwan, on March 11.

Bodycam footage from a rider who was travelling behind shows the man falling to the ground with his bike between a car and the lorry.

Miraculously, he avoided falling under the wheels of the seven-tonne vehicle.

He was then assisted by the filmer who immediately stepped from his bike and helped him. The driver of the car in front also assisted him in standing up.

The man did not sustain any serious injuries from the incident and climbed back aboard his two-wheeler to carry on his journey.

Local authorities reminded motorists to remain vigilant on the road to prevent further incidents like this.
