A scooter rider narrowly escapes being run over by a truck after he fell in front of it in eastern China.

The terrifying moment, filmed in the city of Wuhu in Anhui Province on June 5, shows a man named Gao falling down from his scooter after having an emergency stop to avoid a truck at a turning.

After Gao fell in front of the truck, he climbed out of its way to avoid being run over by the wheels.

Fortunately, he only had skin trauma to his back.
