What was supposed to be a normal ride home nearly became a tragic accident for a London motorcyclist. He managed to escape being crushed by an oncoming lorry - the driver of which completely failed to see the biker.

The biker remains remarkably calm after seeing his motorbike crushed. One eyewitness ensured the motorcyclist was okay - giving him a reassuring hug after escaping a potentially horrific accident.

The video was posted on YouTube on Monday and has already racked up 300,000 views.
