A biker narrowly escaped being run over by a truck in eastern China.

The dramatic footage, shot in the city of Ningbo in Zhejiang Province on March 22, shows a truck knocking down a biker and running over the electric bike when turning a corner.

The electric bike exploded but the cyclist rolled away from the truck's wheels immediately after falling onto the ground, narrowly avoiding being run over.

Fortunately, the biker only suffered minor injuries.
