A fallen motorcycle rider narrowly avoided being crushed by truck wheels.

The road user was manoeuvring next to the lorry when he attempted to counterflow, causing him to topple over in Haryana, India, on January 9.

CCTV footage shows the cargo truck ramming into the two-wheeler and almost crushing the rider. However, two wooden crates saved him from being driven over.

He immediately stood up, wiping his hands off as if nothing had happened.

Upon witnessing the incident, two bystanders helped him reposition his bike as the truck came to a halt.

He reportedly did not sustain any serious injuries from the incident.

The biker said: 'I thought I should go ahead of the truck so that he does not have to slow down his speed. This is the reason why I suddenly came in front of the truck.'
