The vehicle’s sudden action caused the motorcyclist between the camcar and the truck to panic. He swiftly dismounted his bike and attempted to drag his bike out of the reversing truck’s path.
While the motorcyclist managed to get himself out of the way, it’s unclear if he was as lucky with his motorcycle.
Meanwhile, the driver and passengers in the camcar screamed in horror as the truck reversed towards them.
