This is the moment a biker escapes as a massive water tower collapses a split second after he speeds past it.

The incident took place in Hortolandia, in the Brazilian state of Sao Paulo, on Sunday, 13th October.

CCTV footage shows the motorcycle passing in front of the water tower on Avenida Jose Araujo Street as it begins to rupture.
No sooner had he sped by than the structure completely collapsed, launching a massive wave of water into the street that even reached the camera filming the incident.

The owner of a nearby apartment said that the water was ejected from the tower with such force that it reached the first floor of the building.
The unnamed woman said that the water flooded the room that she was in with her baby.

Local media said that the biker has not been identified, but it is not thought he was injured in the incident.

The local authorities have said that they have sent teams to remove the wreckage of the destroyed water tower.
