KUALA LUMPUR: A motorcyclist's quick thinking and swift action saved him from potentially serious injuries.
A dashcam footage shared by @arelie3044 on TikTok shows the incident occurred on Nov 18 at around 10am.
The motorcyclist can be seen stopping at an intersection, seemingly waiting for the traffic light to turn green.
Suddenly, a red lorry makes a sharp left turn, with its rear railing, which appears to be unlocked, swings out toward the motorcyclist's direction.
Noticing the danger just in time, the motorcyclist reacted by lowering his head.
The metal structure had only grazed the motorcyclist's helmet.
