A motorcycle rider scrambled to avoid a truck and was only inches from being crushed under its wheels as it rolled backwards.

Dramatic CCTV footage shows the scooter stopping behind the lorry as its brakes failed in Kerala, India, on May 15.

The female motorist struggled to back away on the inclined road until she had to jump away to flee.

She folded her legs in a fetal position to move away from the bigger vehicle's path.

The woman successfully dodged serious injuries and only had minor scratches, although her two-wheeler was wrecked.

The construction truck halted 15ft (5m) away upon hitting a tree on the roadside.
