This is the terrifying moment a scooter driver narrowly escaped being buried by a lorry after it ran the red light in eastern China.

The CCTV video, filmed in Nantong City in Jiangsu Province on March 21, shows a lorry knocking down a scooter and flipping over in the middle of the road.

The scooter driver had minor injuries and was later fined for running the red light, reports say.
