According to China Press, the incident happened at about 7.10pm on 14 March, along a highway in Muar, Malaysia.
Amidst heavy rain, the victim — identified as Zheng Tianwen (name transliterated from Chinese) — is believed to have lost control of his motorcycle and grazed the wheel of the lorry.
The 41-year-old fell to the ground as a result of the collision and got run over by the lorry.
However, cars travelling behind did not stop and ended up running over the helpless Zheng.
Pictures of the accident showed a red motorcycle lying on the road next to Zheng’s battered body.
The surrounding asphalt also appeared to have been stained red.
Local police appealing for witnesses
Muar police chief Assistant Commissioner Raiz Mukhliz Azman Aziz said the cars did not stop due to the heavy rain.
They were apparently also unaware that an accident had taken place, due to the adverse weather.
Commissioner Raiz said local police are in the process of identifying the lorry driver and appealed to witnesses with relevant information to step forward.
