Motorcyclist In Blind Spot Of Lorry Almost Gets Run Over At Pioneer Junction, Quickly Rolls To Side

Lorry Nearly Runs Over Motorcyclist At Pioneer Traffic Junction

Larger vehicles often have blind spots, which can be difficult to check. This may endanger other road users if they are unknowingly in that position, potentially leading to severe road accidents.

Such was the case in Pioneer, where a motorcyclist had stopped at the blind spot of a lorry at a traffic junction.

As a result, he almost got run over when the vehicle began to move.

Fortunately, the rider was able to roll to the side, managing to avoid what could have been a tragic accident.

The lorry also stops, with the driver exiting his vehicle, presumably about to help the rider.

A subsequent part of the footage reveals that before the incident, the motorcyclist came up from the lorry’s left side to cut to the right, inadvertently stopping in the driver’s blind spot.
