This is the shocking moment a riderless motorcycle trailer crashed into a garden centre.

A group of men were stacking cardboard boxes from the truck onto the blue tricycle when the three-wheeler suddenly veered across the road and slammed into the potted plants in Guangdong, China.

CCTV footage shows the runaway vehicle hitting the greenery on August 26.

The gardener standing nearby can be seen running away from the roadside when the delivery workers alerted her.

She said: 'I was working hard and didn't even have time to react. Luckily, both of my children were safe.

'My son had gone to the base, and my daughter happened to be inside helping me fetch scissors. Otherwise, they would normally be right behind me, helping with the work.

'At that busy intersection with cars constantly passing, there just happened to be no vehicles at that moment. I guess you could say the logistics boss has accumulated good karma.'
